Case Study: Travis County achieves streamlined auditing and improved risk assessment with Pentana Risk

Ideagen’s Pentana helps improve Travis County’s auditing and risk assessment

Travis County, the local government in south central Texas responsible for roads, courts, jails and social services, needed to run multiple legally required audits each year and show clear evidence to external assessors. Their previous paper-based and shared-drive approach caused version-control issues, no audit trail, inconsistent templates, difficulty locating historical records, and limited ability to view office risk profiles quickly.

Ideagen’s Pentana centralized audit work with controlled execution sections, libraries for findings and templates, home tabs for assignments and a risk matrix linked to entity records. The solution enforced version control and standardization, sped up document retrieval and reporting, improved risk identification and targeted audits, reduced errors, and delivered an intuitive, well-supported system that made auditing more efficient and valuable to the County.
