Case Study: Leading Technology Company achieves streamlined, automated, risk-based audit management with MetricStream

Leading Technology Company Transforms Audit Management through an Automated, Collaborative, and Risk-based Approach

The client, an industry-recognized provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, struggled with rudimentary, manual audit processes: risk assessments, audit planning, and reporting were managed through scattered documents and spreadsheets, limiting visibility and creating redundant effort. Lack of a centralized system also hampered collaboration across audit, risk, and business teams, so the company sought a robust, risk-based audit management solution to automate workflows, integrate risk scoring into planning, and improve coordination and reporting.

They implemented the MetricStream Audit Management Solution on the private MetricStream GRC Cloud, providing a single source of truth for the full audit lifecycle—risk identification and scoring, audit planning and scheduling, resource management, execution, issue tracking, and reporting. The solution automated and standardized workflows, offered real-time dashboards, role-based access and SSO, and enabled risk‑based prioritization; outcomes included faster time-to-value, greater audit efficiency, clearer processes, enhanced visibility into audit and risk data, and improved cross-functional collaboration.
