AuditBoard’s platform helps large companies manage audit and compliance work more efficiently, providing solutions for workflow management, risk management and operational audits.
“Our company was founded on a simple vision: Businesses want an easy-to-use, comprehensive and integrated tool to help them report and manage all their audit and compliance activities, and to manage risk,” Daniel Kim, AuditBoard’s CEO said in a statement announcing the deal. “Today, too many auditors are cobbling together different tools to do this, including old-fashioned spreadsheets, and it is hurting the quality of internal controls.”
