How can software help professional services firms to maintain governance standards?

All professional services firms should have dedicated procedures and resources in place to ensure consistent governance standards are met. Resource management software can help firms to set and maintain governance standards across projects by allowing them to mandate the performance metrics that must be adhered to. The system will also flag when these standards are not met using automated email alerts and in-system notifications to keep teams informed of any issues taking engagements off-plan. These project controls can help firms to establish more robust and consistent quality, financial and governance procedures

How can professional services firms use software to improve audit quality?

Automated resource management software can help firms to ensure compliance and security protocol are followed by using features such as audit trails and restrictions. Dayshape keeps an audit trail of which individuals have worked on projects for full transparency and audit purposes. Restrictions can be set to prevent resources from being assigned specific work, ensuring independence protocols are met.
Dayshape’s configurable approval workflows also constitute an automated quality control that ensures engagement plans are reviewed by the right people and that the necessary skills, qualifications, and team composition are assigned to meet quality standards. By providing greater control and visibility in one system, Dayshape empowers engagement teams with the insights they need to trigger the right escalation process and prevent risks to audit quality.
