A4DAInsight vs Protecht

A4DAInsight is a web-based, cloud-deployed internal audit management system for audit functions. It covers governance, risk-based planning, engagement work, findings, remediation and board reporting, aligned with the IIA 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards. Before fieldwork, users complete independence and conflict-of-interest attestations. Workpapers move through separate preparer and reviewer roles in a multi-tier chain involving in-charge, manager and chief audit executive positions. Uploaded evidence is described as SHA-256 hashed, with append-only workflow logs and immutable, content-hashed final reports. Findings use Condition, Criteria, Cause and Effect, with recommendation dispositions such as Risk Accepted. Its Quality Assurance & Improvement Program supports internal and external assessments under IIA 1312 and alerts teams about approaching five-year review dates. COSO 2013, ISO 27001 and GDPR frameworks support control mapping and gap analysis. Reports include board-pack PDFs, audit and risk reports, scheduled and custom reports, and analytics. Seven seeded roles are listed. Pricing is on request.
