A 20% time saving on regulatory audits and a 10% saving on audits of standards like ISO 9001 – who wouldn’t like that? PwC believes that such time savings are possible by adopting agile audit methodologies in an organization. Additional benefits of quick and efficient audits include
For those who have a brush with the software development industry in some form or the other, the term agile may not be entirely new. Agile enables developers to shorten the development lifecycle by increasing collaboration between teams and enabling shorter sprints with greater insights.
In auditing for product and process quality too, this concept is gaining currency as stakeholders are seeking more value from Internal Audit groups to improve outcomes including
According to Deloitte, this is putting pressure on the audit teams, who are also expected to be more responsive to the fast-evolving needs and challenges.
Improve organizational responsiveness by scheduling and planning agile audits using ComplianceQuest’s Audit Management Solution. For more information click here.
An agile audit allows the internal audit team to meet expectations by accelerating audit cycles,providing timely insights, and cutting process times – all with a more efficient documentation process.
Typically, quality audits can be divided into three types:
Each of these can take anywhere between weeks to months to be completed and depends on the company’s size and complexity. The findings of the audits are documented after the completion of the audit.
If your audit management process is not agile, and if a CAPA is triggered only after a few weeks after a critical audit finding is reported – you’ll be wasting time. The key is to implement an audit management system that can help you prioritize audit findings based on certain parameters. It’ll be even better if it can allocate the number of days to respond automatically. The key here is efficiency when it matters.
An agile audit allows audits to be broken down into smaller pieces and reviews to be provided at the end of each short cycle. It can also be leveraged whenever several audits have been scheduled within a time period, when there is a need to improve collaboration between stakeholders, and when there is a need for more relevant and highly impactful reports with less documentation. In an environment where strategies, technologies, priorities, competitors, risks, and regulations are still evolving, agile audits can improve the effectiveness and response times of the auditors.
Agile auditing should be flexible and needs continuous planning and collaboration with the stakeholders so that in case of any potential threats or risks, the audit plans can be reassessed and adjusted. When multiple audits are planned, agile must be applied to the one that is most important, urgent, and ready for auditing. For the agile audit to be conducted effectively and produce the desired results, auditors and stakeholders must be able to set expectations clearly, define the level of assurance needed, and determine the risks that need attention. The reports of these audits focus more on the insights they provide rather than documenting the audit process.
The methodology involves:
Once the sprints are completed as specified, the findings will be reported by the teams and the audit wrapped up.
After completing the fieldwork, the review should focus on analyzing the findings to provide real-time insights after every sprint.
One of the key differences between the traditional and the agile methodologies is that the latter is cyclical and the findings of each sprint can be the basis for the next sprint.
Agile audits also empower the auditors to make quick decisions, improve team learning and effectiveness, increase collaboration, drive innovation, and strengthen quality.
Make audits a hassle-free experience by being prepared and using the right digital tools. Our blog on Improving Audit Management Efficiency explains how.
To ensure the effectiveness of agile audits, some of the best practices include:

Agile auditing is an involved process with collaboration at the core of it. It requires planning, multiple sprints, a correspondingly high number of reviews and reporting, communication, visibility into the process, tracking and monitoring, and so on. Automating the workflows will make the process more transparent and efficient. It will reduce the risk of errors while allowing the stakeholders to collaborate more efficiently.
A cloud-based audit solution such ComplianceQuest enables businesses to manage the entire audit workflow on one platform. It facilitates the building of a flexible, scalable, and configurable audit management workflow based on the specific needs of your organization. You can automate a rapid audit process or configure workflows for complex audits.
Audit sprints can be planned easily with a calendar view that allows managers to create, schedule, and manage different types of audits all in one place. CQ simplifies collaboration between stakeholders and provides data to identify gaps, take corrective action, improve change management, and achieve the expected results. It is also integrated with document and risk management which will improve the agile audit process by providing the required tools to report, review, and manage findings.
The findings can be shared with the stakeholders from within the system to enable timely action and continuous improvement while ensuring compliance.
