Feature breakdown

Configurable audit methodology

Institutions define their own workpaper templates, scoring models, review gates, and approval chains rather than adapting to fixed vendor templates.

Evidence custody controls

Every evidence upload, edit, review, and closure decision is timestamped with user attribution to preserve chain-of-custody.

Action closure governance

Closure requires objective evidence and secondary validation, reducing false closure rates and repeat findings.

Committee-ready reporting

Reports are generated from live issue and fieldwork data, removing month-end report rebuilding cycles.

Extended capabilities

Workpaper collaboration

Workpapers live in SharePoint or OneDrive with native Excel co-authoring—Trigarc manages metadata, audit trail, and sign-off integrity.

  • Native real-time co-authoring instead of full file upload on every save
  • No version conflicts when multiple auditors edit the same workpaper
  • Trigarc manages metadata and full audit trail alongside document storage
  • Immutable SHA-256 snapshots captured on sign-off for defensible evidence
  • Eliminates sync failures common in legacy embedded Excel approaches

Example use cases

  • A tier-one bank tracks recurring branch control failures and enforces escalation to regional operations leadership when remediation exceeds SLA.
  • An insurance group consolidates audit findings across subsidiaries into one committee pack with entity-level drill-downs.
  • An insurer runs risk-based plans using underwriting and claims risk inputs from Trigarc Risk.

Measurable outcomes

  • 20-40% reduction in time spent preparing audit committee reporting packs.
  • 30-50% faster remediation closure for high-severity findings through automated escalation.
  • Lower repeat finding rates through mandatory evidence-based closure validation.
