Case Study: BRF boosts audit efficiency and certification readiness with TeamMate+ by Wolters Kluwer

BRF and TeamMate+ Navigating an evolving internal audit landscape

BRF, a major global food processing company based in Brazil, faced the challenge of managing a large, geographically dispersed internal audit function across 127 countries while complying with multiple regulatory bodies and seeking IIA certification. To navigate this evolving landscape and manage risk with greater transparency, BRF partnered with Wolters Kluwer and implemented its TeamMate+ audit management system.

The TeamMate+ solution automated BRF's audit workflow, eliminating manual processes and providing a single tool to track the entire audit cycle. This implementation by Wolters Kluwer resulted in a 30% increase in audit effectiveness, leading to faster audit cycles, improved quality with reduced errors, and stronger compliance for maintaining IIA certification. The gains in efficiency were particularly notable in tracking a large volume of action plans, and the software provided valuable data for management reporting.
