Audit Evidence Assembly Built for a Controller's Office, Not a Pre-Audit Scramble
Kissflow keeps internal controls testing, evidence, and findings organized against the institution's actual control framework year-round, so the annual financial statement or Single Audit starts from an organized file instead of a request for everything at once.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
The first request is never for the policy
An external auditor's first request is rarely for a policy. It is for the evidence that the policy was actually followed in March. An institution's control framework, cash handling, procurement segregation of duties, payroll authorization, effort certification, generates evidence continuously across a dozen offices, and almost none of it is organized around the specific control an auditor will test.
Most controller's offices assemble that evidence once a year, in the weeks before fieldwork starts, pulling samples from whichever office happens to respond fastest. A control that was actually tested internally in the fall has no record connecting that test to what the external auditor will ask about in the spring.
Kissflow keeps internal controls testing and its evidence organized against the control framework continuously. A test scheduled and run against a specific control logs its finding, a finding routes to a documented corrective action, and evidence attaches to the control it supports as it is produced. Your ERP's general ledger and financial systems remain the system of record for the transactions themselves; this is where the proof that controls over them were followed lives.
What a once-a-year scramble misses
Evidence is scattered across a dozen offices
Cash handling, procurement, payroll, and effort certification each hold their own piece, none of it linked to a specific control.
Internal testing has no formal record
A control tested informally in the fall leaves no trail an external auditor can review directly.
Findings do not track to corrective action
A gap noted during internal testing gets fixed informally, with no documented closure.
Preparation is a fire drill before fieldwork
Assembling a year's worth of evidence competes with the controller's office's regular close calendar.
Six modules. Built for a controller's office, not a pre-audit scramble.
Every module ships with default forms, scheduling, and dashboards. Configure each one to your control framework.
Control framework and evidence library
Every internal control is logged with the evidence standard it requires, and evidence attaches as it is produced.
Testing scheduling and assignment
Internal controls testing is scheduled and assigned ahead of the external audit calendar.
Findings-to-corrective-action workflow
A gap found during testing becomes a tracked corrective action with an owner and a due date.
Evidence capture
Supporting documentation attaches directly to the control it tests, from wherever it is produced.
Compliance dashboard
The controller's office sees testing coverage across every control, months ahead of fieldwork.
Full audit trail
Every test, finding, and corrective action keeps a timestamped record ready for external review.
From request to system of record in four steps
Initiate
Each internal control is defined with the evidence it requires to be considered tested, and testing is scheduled on a calendar independent of when the external auditor arrives.
Conduct
Internal testing runs on that schedule against the institution's actual control framework.
Flag
A gap becomes a tracked corrective action with an owner and a due date, not an informal fix.
Record
Coverage rolls into a readiness dashboard, so the controller's office sees, by control, how ready the audit file is at any time.
What changes when internal controls evidence runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence location | Scattered across a dozen offices | Centralized and tagged to the specific control it supports |
| Internal testing | Informal, undocumented | Scheduled, assigned, and logged against the control framework |
| Findings | Fixed informally with no trail | Tracked as a corrective action with an owner and due date |
| Preparation timing | A fire drill before fieldwork | Maintained continuously against the control framework |
| Coverage visibility | Unknown until fieldwork exposes a gap | Visible on a dashboard by control |
| Audit trail | Reconstructed from memory and email | Timestamped automatically at every step |
Connects to your ERP and financial systems; they stay the system of record
Kissflow does not replace your ERP's general ledger or financial systems. It is the evidence layer proving that controls over those systems were actually followed.

Built for a controller's office, not a pre-audit scramble
Live in weeks
Forms, routing, and dashboards are configured in the visual builder, and the AI Builder can generate a starting workflow from a description of your internal controls testing process.
Control-first, not folder-first
Evidence is tagged to the specific control it tests from the moment it's captured.
Findings become actions
A gap found in internal testing gets a tracked corrective action, not an informal fix.
Coverage visible before fieldwork
Thin testing coverage shows up on the dashboard months ahead of the external audit.
Role-based access
Individual offices see their own controls; the controller's office sees the full framework.
An audit trail by default
Every test, finding, and corrective action is timestamped automatically.

Get SupportNo. Your ERP's general ledger and financial systems remain the system of record for transactions. Kissflow is where the internal controls testing and evidence proving those transactions followed policy get organized.
Research Audit Preparation is scoped to research operations, lab records, consent logs, protocol files, tied to IRB and sponsor standards. This app is scoped to institution-wide financial and operational internal controls, run out of the controller's office.
Grant Audit Response is reactive, triggered by an actual audit notice naming a specific award. This app is the continuous internal controls testing and evidence record maintained year-round, independent of any single audit notice.
Examples include cash handling, procurement segregation of duties, payroll authorization, and effort certification, along with any control in your institution's own framework.
Yes. The control framework, testing schedules, and dashboards are configured in the visual builder, and the AI Builder can generate a starting workflow from a description of your internal controls testing process.
It becomes a corrective action with an owner and a due date, tracked to a documented closure.
Configuration and AI-assisted setup typically move initial rollout to weeks, not a multi-month systems project.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, supports HECVAT review, and is built to support FERPA and GLBA Safeguards obligations, with data residency options in the US, EU, APAC, and Oceania.
