We're excited to introduce Control Testing, a powerful new module to help you achieve effective and efficient controls - well ahead of audits. This release also brings enhancements to the Administrator Dashboard with strengthened filtering support, as well as improved PDF prints for better documentation.
Managing effective and efficient controls with Control Testing
The Control Testing module is designed to make it easy for organizations to evaluate how effective their controls are, well before an external audit. With powerful features such as sampling, bulk test creation, and clear audit trails, you’ll have a centralized system for planning, executing, and monitoring all your control tests.
Key benefits:
Audit-Ready Control Testing
Move away from spreadsheets and ad-hoc approaches with a structured system that provides clear documentation and evidence for audits.
Third Line of Defence
Design your own testing programs to reinforce a strong risk and control framework for your organization.
Control Sampling Made Simple
Define your own sampling criteria to verify control effectiveness thoroughly and systematically.
Bulk Test Creation for Efficiency
Create and schedule multiple tests at once, reducing time and administrative overhead.
Reduce Audit Burden
Be prepared for annual audits with pre-validated, audit-ready results, all in one place.

Enhancements to the Administrator Dashboard
In the last release, we have launched the Administrator Dashboard, which has now been improved to include the following additional functionalities:
Less is more: Focus on certain program(s)
Apply control program filters to focus on the process areas that require special attention or you simply need to monitor on a daily basis. Be aware if performance trends differ in teams or departments and derive context-specific actions!

Get your Country and Entity Dashboard!
Now you can use the control tag filters to quickly understand performance results for a specific region, country or entity. Also, filter by control objective, type, frequency or other classifications (this requires a supporting tag system in place).
You can use control program and control tag filters in interaction!
Choose the time horizon for an adhoc check or strategic planning
Be it a quick check if tasks of the week are done or how your organization has performed in the past year. Pick one of the standard time periods to adjust the dashboard. Control activities with a due date in the chosen time period are used to build the dashboard.
