Case Study: Places for People improves audit insight and reporting with TeamMate by Wolters Kluwer

Places for People Delivering insights, sharing foresights

Places for People, a major UK-based community and housing organization, faced the challenge of enhancing its internal audit function to provide greater assurance on strategic risks and improve efficiency. To achieve this, they utilized TeamMate+ and TeamMate Analytics by Wolters Kluwer, aiming to move from small data samples to comprehensive analysis for more impactful findings.

The solution involved implementing TeamMate Analytics for in-depth data analysis, such as payroll audits and customer complaint trend analysis, and using the TeamMate+ reporting API integrated with Power BI for advanced visualization. This allowed the internal audit team to increase their data sampling from 10% to upwards of 50-100%, adding significant weight to their findings. The results included more timely and visually compelling reports for stakeholders, a cultural shift towards data-driven auditing, and the ability to identify efficiency gains, such as better resource management for future audit planning. Wolters Kluwer's tools were critical in transforming their audit process and providing a strong return on investment.
