Overview

Dimeri Internal Audits is a web-based audit workspace for organisations that need to connect annual planning with engagement work and findings follow-up. It is best suited to audit teams in regulated or committee-led organisations that want those activities in one place. Its central trade-off is clear: a useful three-user free workspace sits alongside paid GRC plans where several core audit functions may require an upgrade.

Key features

Plan and resource engagements

The planning module combines a risk-based annual audit plan with coverage mapping, a calendar and resource utilisation tracking. That gives teams a way to relate audit priorities to scheduled work and capacity, which is more useful than a plan that stops at listing engagements. Engagement management is included in the free workspace, though its three-user ceiling makes it a limited starting point for larger teams.

Draft and manage workpapers

Dimeri can generate AI-assisted workpaper drafts from an engagement’s scope and prior findings, including procedures, observations and conclusions, with version history. That offers auditors a structured first draft and a record of revisions; it does not remove the need for professional review. Workpaper management may require an upgrade, so the free plan should not be treated as a complete workpaper workflow.

Follow findings through remediation

Findings can record severity, root cause and management response, and link to risks and controls. Follow-up actions and automated overdue reminders help keep remediation visible after fieldwork, an important strength for teams accountable to management or an audit committee.

Report and align to standards

Audit reports bring together executive summaries, findings and recommendations and can be exported to PDF or Word. Dimeri says its workflows align with IIA Standards, King IV, PFMA and AGSA requirements, making the product relevant to organisations working within those frameworks. Automated reporting may require an upgrade, so free users should check whether the reporting workflow they need is included.

Controls and workspace governance

The product includes controls testing, risk assessment, workpaper management, finding tracking and remediation workflows. Dimeri describes Owner, Admin, Member and Viewer roles, a full activity audit trail, encryption in transit and at rest, isolated workspaces, and a policy of not using customer data to train AI models. SAML single sign-on is for Business customers; that makes the paid-plan boundary relevant to organisations with that access requirement.

Pricing

Dimeri’s pricing is freemium. The separate GRC plans set out prices and general platform features, while Enterprise is the plan explicitly described as including the full record modules, including Internal Audit. Confirm which audit functions are included before choosing a lower tier.

Free — free: billed R0/ forever, with 10 AI messages per day, AI dashboard access, and basic GRC research and drafting. It has no export, connectors or custom dashboards. The free audit workspace includes planning, engagement management and findings tracking for up to three users; workpaper management, automated reporting and premium integrations may require upgrading. Standard email support is included.
Starter — 300.00 ZAR per month: billed R300/ month, with unlimited AI messages, research mode, and policy and checklist drafting. It gives up the Professional tier’s exports, custom dashboards and Kanban boards, and the Business tier’s connectors. Standard email support is included.
Professional — 500.00 ZAR per month: billed R500/ month, adding PDF, Word and Excel export, custom dashboards and Kanban boards to Starter. It suits teams that need those tools but not Business connectors. Priority email support is included.
Business — 700.00 ZAR per month: billed R700/ month, adding Excel, Google Drive, OneDrive and SharePoint connectors to Professional. It is the relevant listed tier for those integrations and for SAML single sign-on. Priority email support is included.
Enterprise — custom pricing: includes the full record modules, including Internal Audit, Risk Register, AI-linked Controls and AI Reports, plus team collaboration, dedicated onboarding and an African regulatory corpus. This is the clearest fit for organisations needing the complete module set; contact Dimeri for a demo and pricing.

The listed Free, Starter, Professional and Business prices do not state seat allowances beyond the free audit workspace’s three-user cap. Do not assume a paid tier includes a particular number of audit users.

Platforms

Dimeri Internal Audits runs on the web. That suits teams working through a browser-based workspace, but it is not a stated choice for teams that require a native mobile or desktop app.

Who it's for

Dimeri identifies listed companies, public sector entities, financial institutions, state-owned enterprises, and organisations with audit committees or regulatory oversight as intended audiences. Its stated alignment with IIA Standards, King IV, PFMA and AGSA requirements is especially pertinent to teams working within those frameworks. Smaller teams can start with free planning and findings tracking; organisations that need the full audit workflow, more users or integrations should assess the paid-plan boundaries first.

Pros and cons

Pro: Planning connects risk-based priorities, coverage, scheduling and resource utilisation, helping teams coordinate an annual programme.
Pro: Findings can be linked to risks and controls and followed through actions with overdue reminders, supporting remediation accountability.
Pro: AI-assisted workpaper drafts draw on engagement scope and prior findings, and include version history.
Pro: The free audit workspace offers planning, engagement management and findings tracking for up to three users.
Con: The free workspace has no connectors, and workpaper management and automated reporting may require an upgrade; it is not a full-featured free audit setup.
Con: Enterprise is custom priced, while the listed lower-tier prices do not establish audit seat allowances.
Con: The stated platform is web only, which excludes teams requiring native app access.

Alternatives

For a different service-desk-oriented option, see SmartSuite Enterprise Service Desk, which has a paid trial and a Team plan priced at 15.00 USD per month when billed annually. Guardial Audit Management is web-based, offers a free trial and uses custom proposals scaled to modules and program size. Protecht offers a paid web and API platform with annual licensing based on named active users.

Verdict

Dimeri Internal Audits is a good fit for regulated or committee-led organisations that want planning, workpapers, findings follow-up and reporting within a GRC workspace, particularly when its stated regional standards alignment is relevant. Its free tier gives a small team a practical entry point for planning and findings, but the three-user cap and potential upgrade requirements around workpapers, reporting and integrations make it a poor assumption for a complete no-cost audit operation. Choose it when those connected workflows matter; look elsewhere if you need a clearly priced full audit module, broader platform support or confirmed seat terms.
