Because the software automates and speeds up the audit process – freeing up internal auditors to adopt a more strategic, advisory role. Leverage the power of the SAP HANA in-memory database, integrate with other governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, and align internal audit with overall business goals.

History of SAP Solutions: Audit Management
Streamline, diversify, and enhance your internal audit engagements with SAP Audit Management powered by SAP HANA. This in-memory audit software makes it quick and easy to document evidence, organise working papers, and create audit reports. It provides the analytical capabilities to shift the focus of internal audit from basic assurance to providing insight and advice.
Steve Hewison, CEO
“Essentially, SAP Audit Management is a tool that centralises and streamlines audits. There are clear planning, execution and time-saving advantages for the auditor but I actually feel it’s the Head of Audit who gains the biggest benefit as the solution showcases the value of the audit to the business – as a function that is both safeguarding the organisation as well as providing key insight which the business can positively build upon.
As part of implementations, Winterhawk can include bespoke content to optimise out-of-box reporting capabilities. For example, SAP Audit Management offers two standard reports utilising Adobe forms; however, our clients typically want audit reports with customised styling, formatting, and data – we can then offer our clients a solution with the look and feel of an in-house application.“
Implementation of SAP Audit Management can be as quick as 12 weeks by leveraging Winterhawk’s Rapid Deployment Services (RDS) enabling fast, efficient roll-out at a lowered cost.
Using Winterhawk’s cost effective and best practice RDS approach, you can plan for a GRC go-live about 3 months from when the project commences. Click here to find out more.
