Background and Discussion:

We were seeking to replace our existing internally hosted audit management software with a more

robust, cloud-based software. The software change will achieve the following:

1. Move from a county on-premises server to the cloud will cut down on error-driven

downtime and reduce usage of Universal Services resources;

2. Access latest system updates when available, minimizing Auditor downtime and Universal Services

involvement to update the system;

3. Enhance our ability to operate within standards established by the Institute of Internal Auditors(IIA), the

authoritative body for internal audit;

4. Improve our ability to report on progress and department metrics in real time; and

5. Provide a more user-friendly experience and enables deeper insights in a timely, cost effective manner for

more informed business decisions.
