GuardianERM Audit Solutions
Turn audit findings into measurable actions with Audit Desk – a purpose built actions tracking tool designed for Internal Audit Teams.
Many organisations are still relying on spreadsheets and other manual solutions to manage outstanding remediation actions. With limited resources and time pressure – audit teams are constantly overloaded with competing priorities.
If you’re like most audit teams, you’re:
Today’s audit & risk functions face increasing complexity and tighter expectations. Discipline is essential – but without the right tools, even the best teams and processes fall short. Modern intuitive systems help teams streamline workflows, stay aligned and maintain confidence at every step.
A system of record and single source of truth for all Audit & Assurance findings.
Reduce follow-up fatigue and ensure timely updates with automated reminders.
Generate board ready reports and analytics with customisable dashboards.
Full traceability of all actions, commentary and audit evidence.
Connect securely using SSO, encryption and role-based access controls.
Never have a repeat finding again by enforcing independent validation.
What does Better Practice Remediation looks like?
Closing Findings Before They Become Failures
A free thought-leadership paper for Internal Audit, Risk & Governance teams that focuses on the most challenging last mile of assurance – often where remediation stalls, actions go overdue and repeat findings emerge.
This paper sets out practical system-driven approaches to tracking audit actions, strengthens ownership and measures remediation effectiveness using the same principles that underpin Audit Desk.
Inside the paper:
Yes. Audit Desk is designed for business users, not system specialists. Action owners receive an email and automated reminders. Most users require only a short introductory session – or can begin using the system immediately.
Training needs are minimal. Internal Audit typically receives a 60–90 minute onboarding session, while management action owners only need a brief walkthrough. Most teams are fully operational within days.
Absolutely. Audit Desk supports remediation tracking across all assurance sources – not just Internal Audit. You can easily track recommendations from external audit, penetration tests, risk reviews, compliance activities, WHS audits, BCP testing, and more.
In most cases, no. Audit Desk is cloud-based, easy to deploy, and requires minimal IT support. Basic checks may be needed for security and access approvals, but implementation, configuration, and ongoing use can be managed directly by Internal Audit.
Audit Desk is a GuardianERM module. GuardianERM uses industry-standard security practices including role-based access control, encrypted connections, secure Australian cloud hosting, audit logs, and multi-level permissions. Sensitive data remains protected, and every action is fully traceable.
