Generica Audit is a powerful new audit management solution that provides audit process management at a fraction of the cost and time with greater accuracy, reduced risk, and full tracking and control. It provides complete governance, risk, and compliance management (GRCM) functionality in your natural working environment – including Microsoft® Office™, SharePoint™, Outlook™, Lotus® Notes™, and PDFs.
Unlike conventional audit management products, Generica enables auditors and managers to conduct audits and ensure compliance without jumping from one application window to another. It functions as an extension of their normal working software and greatly reduces the time and costs associated with the entire audit process.
No more human error, reams of paper, highlighters, and sticky notes.
Auditors use Generica to maintain dynamic, up-to-date multi-regulation guidelines and create comprehensive, accurate audit documents in minutes rather than days or weeks – with no more highlighters and sticky notes. Using simple commands integrated into the MS Office toolbar, auditors select relevant key controls, then automatically create audit documents with one click. The selected key controls become “living” controlled objects in the document and in the control center.
Full management and control of audit implementation.
Working within the audit report or control center, auditors and managers again use simple, integrated tools to select and define findings, deficiencies, risks, and recommendations – virtually any text – as “managed information objects” and assign to them responsibilities, timelines, processes and more.
As part of KCS’s comprehensive GRCM suite, Generica Audit automatically tracks execution and timelines of action plans; notifies responsible parties; and provides a management dashboard with permission controls to keep the right people informed of compliance status at any given moment. Generica ensures compliance and reduces risks across all processes.
Generica Pro:
- Turns regular unstructured text in documents into self-managing, “living” organisms.
- Automates management and communication of audit findings, milestones, due dates and responsibilities.
- Fully integrates into your normal working environment – MS Office, SharePoint, Outlook, Lotus Notes and virtually any document management system.
- Minimizes the risk of legal, regulatory and contractual non-compliance.
- Provides secure personal dashboards so employees can easily manage their own assigned tasks and management can review overall compliance status.
Generica turns critical unstructured text buried in documents into manageable, controlled, and actionable objects.
Generica is a fully customizable application that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Outlook, and Lotus Notes. Users see a simple embedded toolbar as a natural extension of their familiar environment.
Working within an audit report, a user can turn any finding, deficiency, recommendation – virtually any text – into a “living” managed object, complete with timelines, responsibilities, and risk factors.
As the audit progresses, items can be viewed, selected, and modified as necessary. This creates, in effect, a living audit report in real time.
Management responses are entered and automatically linked to the live objects in the report, again streamlining the process and providing an interactive framework that incorporates and tracks the actions of all parties.
The resulting action plans are also “alive” in Generica, so tagged objects can be assigned as tasks and deliverables that can be tracked as they are implemented.
Permission-based dashboards give senior management a bird’s-eye view of compliance status across all audits while providing responsible parties with notifications and reminders of the status of their individual tasks.
The impact of automated audit and action plans:
Generica reduces risk, improves governance, and ensures compliance. It provides an automated platform to track, view, and execute all the findings, decisions, and recommendations – internal or external – included in an audit report, and enables them to be implemented efficiently and fully controlled throughout the process.
The reduced consumption of time and resources of the audit process is surpassed only by the degree of accuracy and control that is automatically integrated.
