OpenWorkpaper vs Q-Hub

OpenWorkpaper is an open-source web application for documenting audits from planning through fieldwork and reporting. Its task dashboard lists active audits, assigned procedures, and pending reviews. A centralized request area handles client information requests and master PBC spreadsheet uploads and downloads. Procedures can record purpose, source, scope, methodology, results, conclusions, and reviewer comments, with PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint attachments. Audit programs export to Word, and automatic numbering organizes groups, procedures, and attachments hierarchically. Collaboration includes assignments, team management, discussions, and preparer and reviewer sign-offs. Role-based access combines system roles with audit-specific teams. OpenID Connect works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Keycloak. The project documents HTTPS through Nginx and SSL/TLS certificates and records sensitive actions in audit logs. It supports local, private-network, and cloud deployment with a portable SQLite database. The free open-source plan is free.
