Case Study: Van Lanschot achieves centralized, secure automated audit management with Pentana Risk

Pentana provides leading Dutch bank with automated audit management tool

Van Lanschot, a Dutch private bank, needed to replace its paper-based audit files after the audit team moved to multiple offices. The Group Audit team was concerned about file availability, secure transfer of confidential records and the ability to work collaboratively across locations, so they sought an automated audit management solution that could be implemented quickly and with minimal customisation.

They selected Ideagen’s Pentana, implemented by Sepia Solutions, using out-of-the-box functionality for a fast rollout and practical training. Pentana created a secure, centralised electronic audit repository, enabled structured audit workflows, centralised reporting and milestone-based progress tracking—giving auditors and managers clear visibility of status and due dates. The implementation ran smoothly, improved team effectiveness and audit process consistency, and has already delivered measurable efficiency and control gains.
