Audit
The full audit lifecycle, next to the risks it assures.
From a governed register of every auditable unit to corrective actions tracked monthly, in the same platform as your risks and controls.
Compliance-automation tools stop at controls and evidence. Sastrum runs the audit department too.
Lifecycle verified in the application, 18 Sep 2026.
The lifecycle
Six stages, one governed register behind all of them.
Select a stage to see what it covers and what it produces. Every stage writes to the same audit universe, so a finding never loses the unit it came from.
01Universe & Annual Planning
Score auditable units, lock the snapshot, and build the risk-based plan from it.
Produces
A locked annual plan, scored against the risk universe.
The department, not just the engagement
Resourcing, templates and surveys, in the same place as the plan.
An audit function is a department with a budget, a calendar and a team. Sastrum carries those alongside the engagements rather than leaving them in spreadsheets.

Next to the risks it assures.
- Scopes from controlsEngagements are scoped from the control library in Governance.
- Shares the evidenceFieldwork evidence lives in the same Evidence Library that Compliance uses.
- Findings become actionsCorrective actions are tracked in the same Task Management as everything else.
The audit universe is empty in the reviewed tenant; an import template ships with the module.
