Case Study: Global Child Development NGO achieves automated risk-based internal audits and improved efficiency with MetricStream

Global Child Development NGO Automates Risk-based Internal Audits through a Cloud-based Audit Management Solution

The client is a global child-development NGO that must balance urgent humanitarian work with strict transparency and donor accountability while managing risks such as child labor, corruption, and fund misappropriation. Dependent on donor funding, the organization needed lean, cost‑efficient internal audits but struggled with manual, error‑prone processes, bulky spreadsheets, limited top‑level visibility, and rising audit costs.

MetricStream delivered a cloud-based Audit Management solution in under a month, consolidating multi‑language, multi‑location audit processes and automating risk capture, risk‑based audit planning, scheduling, offline field work, issue remediation, and reporting. As a result the NGO gained faster time‑to‑value, sharper risk prioritization, real‑time dashboards and reporting, improved collaboration, fewer errors, and reduced costs—enabling scalable, transparent global internal audit governance.
