Demo version

RIAS is standard software designed as a central browser-oriented audit management solution for use on the company intranet. By using RIAS, auditors can concentrate on the essentials again and efficiently plan and carry out audits.

Field-proven software for internal audits

  • Digitalization of internal auditing
  • Optimization of the auditing process
  • Compliance with legal requirements
  • Increasing efficiency in the performance of audits

With RIAS, you can optimize the quality of your audit management: RIAS serves as an effective tool for internal auditing, helping you to implement the quality and procedural standards set by the German Institute of Internal Auditing (DIIR).

  • RIAS serves as a standardized instrument for recording, analyzing and evaluating risks.
  • As an audit management system, RIAS maps the cyclical control loop in the audit process from risk identification and assessment, audit program planning and archiving of audit reports, tracking of follow-ups with the creation of targeted evaluations through to renewed risk analysis.
  • RIAS supports Internal Audit in assessing risks in order to systematically check risky processes for compliance and to investigate ineffectiveness and irregularities or manipulation (fraud detection / fraudulent actions). If an area is assessed as having the highest risk, it receives a warning flag (RED FLAG), which triggers a special audit process with the highest priority.

The regularity and expediency of all business processes are important characteristics of successful companies.

In line with this principle, Internal Audit has the task of checking all corporate processes and structures for security, efficiency and compliance with various requirements, as well as uncovering fraudulent activities within the company.

In addition to these traditional activities, Internal Audit is also increasingly faced with the challenge of optimizing business processes and ensuring that they conform to strategy.

RIAS - An overview

RIAS maps the individual internal audit processes in a structured and clear manner.
From risk identification and risk assessment to audit execution and tracking of measures, RIAS enables each individual step to be documented and archived.

The planning of audit capacities is just as much a part of the basic functionality as the centralized pflege of audit objects and their risk assessment in the Audit Universe provided for this purpose.

The view of the Audit Universe can be customized using an extensive filter function in order to maintain clarity. For example, only specific company areas, only audit objects with a previously defined risk value or a combination of both can be displayed. A comprehensive roles and rights concept makes it possible to assign work steps to specific user groups and, if necessary, to map QA levels in the system in the form of required approvals.

RIAS offers a wide range of configuration and setting options in a separate administration area. This means that RIAS can be scaled to meet the needs of a global corporation as well as small companies with just one audit employee.
RIAS is available in both German and English. It is also possible to change the language during operation.

RIAS (REVISION, INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM)

... as a web-based audit management solution, supports the technical implementation of the high quality standards and requirements for internal audits. It is not only legal and professional requirements and standards that form the framework for the work of internal auditors.

The quality of the company's own processes is also of fundamental importance for auditing work. Maintaining the confidentiality of all auditing activities and internal company information is a basic prerequisite.

Audit planning

RIAS uses Audit Universe to create a comprehensible, transparent database for the risk map at all process levels of a company. Thanks to the audit fields recorded in it, annual planning can be carried out individually and efficiently based on the key risk figures recorded using an individual criteria catalog.

In addition to one-off audits, periodic audits can also be created, which are automatically transferred to the new annual audit plan as soon as the cycle is reached. The overall audit plan created is still available as standardized documentation after approval by the management.

Audit execution

The audit execution, recording of measures and their follow-up is workflow-based in RIAS and is documented at every step.

Completed audits are automatically stored in a dedicated area for the rolling risk assessment of the audited audit fields.

In addition, the responsible users receive notifications for each step within the workflow in the so-called processing basket, so that targeted processing and an overview of activities is guaranteed at all times.

Reports

Using an integrated report generator, reports of all kinds (e.g. audit reports or audit announcements) can be conveniently generated automatically as a PDF and as an editable Word document based on stored, customizable templates.

Keeping an overview

Comprehensive filter options make it easy to keep track of all overviews at all times, even in large organizations.
