Soft Audit Insights
Digitising auditing & risk management activities by facilitating operations
Audit management tools are often not user-friendly, instead of facilitating the auditing process they slow it down, adding bureaucracy to normal operational activities. Soft Audit Insights' primary objective is to provide ease of use and flexibility to a comprehensive audit management tool, developed on the basis of real field experience and user feedback.
