ACTION MANAGEMENT & REMEDIATION
An Intuitive Audit Action Tracker for Seamless Remediation
Audit findings are only as valuable as the actions they trigger. We’ve built our Audit Action Tracker to eliminate the friction in your remediation process—moving you away from fragmented spreadsheets and into a centralised, automated environment that fosters true accountability.
Log & Configure | Centralise and Customise Your Data
Flexible Entry: Create new issues directly within the system or import from spreadsheets for rapid setup.
Total Customisation: Tailor issue forms, workflows, fields, and terminology to align perfectly with your existing organisational language and frameworks.
Integrated Links: Link audit reports directly to tracker issues and connect findings to working papers for a fully unified audit trail.
Granular Control: Restrict user permissions by ownership or division, ensuring individuals only access the information relevant to their roles.
Assign & Notify | Establish Clear Accountability
Smart Assignment: Effortlessly assign actions to multiple owners and group related tasks by linking actions to specific recommendations.
Automated Alert System: Assignees receive instant email notifications with full action details. Precision-timed alerts keep everyone informed of upcoming and overdue tasks.
Simplified Interface: Assignees use a streamlined, intuitive interface to update progress, upload supporting documentation, and add explanatory notes.
Restricted Visibility: To maintain focus, assignees only see their specifically assigned actions and the issue details you permit.
Monitor & Review | Real-Time Oversight and Verification
Manager Oversight: Managers are automatically notified of updates. They can review attachments, add responses, or revoke "completed" status if further work is required.
Audit Trail Transparency: A full audit log records every user change. The system retains original due dates for performance accuracy even as updates occur.
Validation: Once satisfied with the evidence provided, managers mark actions as "Implemented," which automatically halts reminders and logs the action as completed.
Scalable Architecture: Designed to scale from small charities to multinationals, the process evolves as your organisational needs grow.
Report & Resolve | Actionable Insights for Stakeholders
One-Click Reporting: Generate professional performance reports for managers and Audit Committees instantly, eliminating administrative bottlenecks.
Dynamic Data Retrieval: Use one-click overdue filters to identify urgent issues. Column filters with "type and match" functionality allow for precise data interrogation.
Interactive Visualisations: Use interactive charts to view specific data subsets and Risk Flows to understand the "domino effect" of connected risks on your business.

AUDIT BEST PRACTICE
Beyond Tracking: A Structured Approach to Remediation
Audit findings are only the starting point. To drive real change, your internal audit tracker must do more than just list issues; it must facilitate a professional remediation process based on industry standards.
The Four Pillars of a Strong Audit Finding
Symbiant allows you to customise your issue forms to capture the “4 Elements” required for professional auditing:
- Condition: What is currently happening?
- Criteria: What standard or control should be met?
- Cause: What is the root cause of the issue?
- Effect: What is the specific risk or impact on the organisation?
AUDIT BEST PRACTICE
Best Practices for Internal Audit Success
1. Assign Clear Ownership
Every finding needs a single point of accountability. Symbiant lets you assign actions to specific individuals (not just departments), eliminating the “bystander effect” and ensuring someone is always responsible for the fix.
2. Monitor Against Hard Deadlines
Stay ahead of the curve with automated alerts. Our system tracks progress against original due dates, ensuring that “time-creep” is visible and manageable.
3. Mandate Supporting Evidence
Don’t take “it’s done” for an answer. Our workflow requires assignees to upload documentation or notes before an action can be moved to review, ensuring every closure is verified.
4. Link Findings to the Wider Risk Landscape
Audit findings shouldn’t exist in a vacuum. Effortlessly link your tracker issues to your Risk Register and Working Papers to see how a single control failure impacts your broader business resilience.

Pricing Disclaimer
The Symbiant Audit Action Tracker Module is a standalone solution built to ensure audit actions are completed effectively. It enables you to log and manage issues, assign ownership, and automate updates through customised emails. You can create issues manually or import them from spreadsheets, with full control over user permissions so individuals only see what you want them to see. Actions can be grouped under recommendations and assigned to one or multiple users, each receiving automatic email notifications. Assignees can update progress, upload supporting documentation, and notify when tasks are complete. Managers can review updates, comment, or reassign actions, with all changes logged and tracked.
The system provides intuitive filtering, cumulative chart views, overdue action flags, and customisable forms to match your terminology. Once actions are marked as implemented, reminders stop and performance reports reflect the completed status. The module gives direct ownership of actions, supports clear reporting to audit committees, and has been trusted by audit teams since 2001. With the optional AI Assistant, the module can also highlight new potential risks identified in audit findings, supporting a more proactive risk management approach.
