Sounds familiar?

After the audit report is issued

The report is delivered and the closing meeting ends, then the findings scatter across spreadsheets and emails. Months later the auditor asks about a high-severity finding, and nobody can say whether it was really fixed, who fixed it, or where the proof is.

Findings with no named owner

The finding goes to a whole department, so nobody takes responsibility for closing it.

Action plans that quietly slip

Nobody notices the delay until it comes up at the audit committee.

Closure without proof

A finding is closed with a line in an email, and nothing is left to show the fix at the next review.

How MUNTABIQ helps

In MUNTABIQ, each audit keeps its findings, recorded as observations, in its own folder. Every finding is linked to a source such as a risk or an asset, and has a severity, a department, an owner and a due date, with a separate extended due date when needed. The owner writes the corrective action and uploads proof in the finding itself; the action stays pending approval until it is reviewed and approved, and the audits dashboard lists overdue findings with their days overdue.

From finding to closure in five steps

  1. Step 1: Record the finding and link its source
  2. Step 2: Set the owner, department and due date
  3. Step 3: The owner writes the fix and attaches proof
  4. Step 4: Review the action and approve the closure
  5. Step 5: Follow what is overdue before the committee
Step 1: Record the finding and link its source

What changes

An owner and a date for every finding

You know who is responsible for each finding, in which department, and when it is due.

Closure backed by proof

The corrective action, its evidence file and its approval stay inside the finding itself.

Overdue items in plain sight

The overdue table shows the days overdue for each finding, so you know what needs escalation.

Who it is for

Head of Internal Audit

Follows findings from every audit, with their status and severity, on one dashboard and sees what is overdue before the audit committee meets.

Audit Manager

Records findings and assigns them to their owners, then reviews each corrective action and its evidence before approving it.

Action Owner

Gets a notification of what is expected, then writes the action and uploads the proof in one place instead of trading emails.

Frequently asked questions

Can findings be assigned to different departments?

Yes. Each observation has a department, an owner and a list of assignees, so every finding goes to the department it concerns. The audits dashboard also shows findings by department.

Can remediation evidence be attached?

Yes. The owner uploads the evidence file in the Evidence tab of the observation, where it is shown with who uploaded it and when, next to the corrective action and its approval status.

Can we report on overdue findings?

Yes. The audits dashboard lists overdue observations with their days overdue, and those due in the next 30 days. You can also build a report on observations in the Reports module, in PDF, HTML, Excel or CSV.
