Annual planning is often a challenging task: structuring the year in alignment with the Audit Committee’s objectives and the risk map. With Sentinelys’ annual audit plan, you can prepare your engagements in advance, identify areas to audit, and allocate your resources—without requiring a definitive level of detail. Engagements can be generated from the plan or created directly based on urgency.
-
Preparatory work: Organize your audit plans and identify the key areas to be audited during the period.
-
Viewing time budgets: Forecast the workload in person-days by assignment and by team.
-
Flexibility: either according to the schedule or on an ad hoc basis, depending on the urgency of a project during the year.
THE AUDIT MISSION
A structured framework for complying with IIA standards, featuring a reliable audit trail.
Each engagement begins with scoping: defining the scope in relation to the target company (entities, processes, physical location, regulatory requirements, etc.), assembling the audit team along with scheduling and budget management, and selecting control frameworks or audit programs from the library. Define engagement milestones and templates using a no-code approach.
Once launched, the engagement dashboard provides a real-time overview: audit program status, pending or overdue requests, scheduled interviews, and customizable key performance indicators. The auditor and supervisor know exactly where the engagement stands at all times.
On each audit form, Sentinelys facilitates a structured exchange between the auditor and the auditee: requests for documents or interviews, submission and validation of evidence. Risks and events identified within the scope are automatically escalated—no manual searching required.
-
Scope of the audit engagement: scope, audit team, auditees involved, and standards selected from the library.
-
Real-time dashboard: program status, ongoing checks, overdue requests, scheduled maintenance, customizable metrics.
-
Structured exchanges: requests for documents or interviews, verification of evidence between the auditor and the auditee.
-
Automatic context retrieval: risks and events within the scope are displayed directly in the assignment.
-
Generating the audit report: structured export compatible with your office suite (Word).
FROM FINDINGS TO REPORT
A validation workflow.
During the audit, the auditor enters their findings into Sentinelys. Each finding requires the drafting of one or more recommendations, which are subject to a validation workflow by a supervisor who ensures the report’s quality before it is issued.
Validated recommendations trigger requests for action plans in Sentinelys to ensure their follow-up until closure. The audit engagement is then exported as a structured report.
-
Findings & recommendations: recorded during the campaign, subject to management approval.
-
Supervisor workflow: ensures the quality of the report before it is issued.
-
Export report: automatically generate a structured audit report from the engagement.
-
Management of recommendations and action plans: these are integrated into the cross-functional module shared across the entire platform.

INTEROPERABILITY · 360° VIEW
What changes when your modules finally start communicating with each other.
Sentinelys is your comprehensive GRC/ERM (Governance, Risk Management, Control, and Audit) platform, whether you’re an SME or a mid-sized company. Each active module automatically feeds into the others, eliminating the need for re-entry or additional scoping meetings.
+ Risk Management
Risk mapping guides your assignments. Specific risks can be viewed directly in the audit checklist: the auditor has the necessary context without having to contact the risk manager.
No more silos: the auditor has the risk context directly in their checklist.
+ Internal Control
Internal Control oversees Levels 1 and 2. Internal Audit operates at the third level to assess the effectiveness of the system. Both modules share the same action plan repository. Recommendations and guidance are followed consistently, without any duplication.
Unified vision: the three lines of defense within the same environment, using the same data.
+ Events & Incidents
Incidents reported within the audited company’s scope are automatically fed into the audit engagement. The auditor arrives with the necessary context, so no additional kick-off meetings are required.
Immediate context: no separate systems to consult.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a specific question? Our experts are here to help. Request a demo to see how our tools can make your day-to-day work easier.
What is audit management software, and how does Sentinelys fit into this category?
Audit management software centralizes all stages of the audit cycle: planning, conducting audits, gathering evidence, validating findings and recommendations, and tracking action plans. Sentinelys goes a step further by integrating these features into a shared GRC or SIGR environment alongside the Risk, Internal Control, and Incident modules, thereby eliminating silos and redundant data entry across teams.
Do I need to enable all modules to use the internal audit feature?
No. The Internal Audit module operates independently on the core platform (company scope, libraries, no-code configuration, role settings, questionnaires, and event management with decision-making committees).
Add the Risk Management or Internal Control modules based on your priorities: each connected module automatically enhances the audit by providing additional context.
How does the follow-up on recommendations work after an assignment?
Approved recommendations and action plans are easily tracked within the Sentinelys platform using the tracking menu, which is available throughout the platform. This same space is used for action plans related to risks, internal controls, and incidents: all teams track corrective actions in a single tool, regardless of their origin.
What is “constrained projection” in Sentinelys?
An optional feature of the Time Management module, it enables the system to automatically assign assignments to auditors based on their availability, areas of expertise, and the priorities of the audit plan. This is particularly useful for teams managing a large number of concurrent assignments.
