“Protiviti continues to rapidly evolve the Governance Portal to
help our customers meet all of their governance, risk and
compliance objectives,” said Scott Gracyalny, managing director and
global lead of Protiviti’s Risk Technologies group. “With the
addition of the Time & Expense Management module and an
interface that is easier to use than competing products, the
Governance Portal for Internal Audit has clearly established its
leadership position by enabling organizations to work more
productively and accurately across the globe and in the context of
their broader GRC efforts.”
The Time & Expense Management module allows businesses to
monitor time and expenses related to audit and non-audit projects,
as well as to administrative and personal activities. This
information can be used to track projects, report on resource
utilization, and manage budgets. Auditors and managers
automatically create timesheets based on the audit master schedule
and then update the timesheet to reflect the actual time and
expenses. Managers can then visually compare budgets to actuals,
budgets to allocation, and general resource utilization.
The Protiviti Governance Portal for Internal Audit enables any
size audit department to personalize the system to meet its
specific internal audit objectives. In addition to the new Time
& Expense Management module, the Governance Portal for Internal
Audit supports risk assessment, planning, electronic work papers,
findings management and audit reporting.
The Time & Expense Management module is included in version
3.10 of the Protiviti Governance Portal for Internal Audit.
Existing customers can immediately upgrade to version 3.10 by
contacting the Governance Portal Support Desk.
The Protiviti
Portal is an industry-leading EGRC software platform that
allows organizations to address multiple GRC objectives. It
integrates Protiviti’s proprietary content and consulting expertise
with commonly accepted governance frameworks to establish a
comprehensive platform that gives organizations the visibility and
insight they need to manage and mitigate critical risk and
compliance issues.
