What is Diligent Audit

Diligent Audit is an audit management software product used to plan, execute, document, and report internal audits. It supports audit teams with workflows for risk-based audit planning, workpaper management, issue tracking, and audit reporting. The product is typically used by internal audit functions and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams that need centralized audit documentation and visibility across audit engagements. It is positioned as part of Diligent’s broader governance and risk platform, which can matter for organizations standardizing multiple GRC processes under one vendor.

pros

End-to-end audit workflow

The product covers core internal audit lifecycle needs, including audit planning, fieldwork/workpapers, findings, and reporting. This reduces reliance on spreadsheets and shared drives for audit documentation. Centralized engagement records can improve consistency across multiple audits and auditors.

Issue and remediation tracking

Diligent Audit includes mechanisms to capture findings, assign owners, and track remediation status over time. This supports follow-up audits and management reporting on open items. It also helps maintain an audit trail of changes and updates to issues.

Alignment with broader GRC suite

Diligent Audit is part of a wider set of governance and risk products from the same vendor. For buyers already using related Diligent modules, this can simplify vendor management and enable shared data or reporting across governance and risk processes. Suite alignment can be useful for organizations seeking standardization across audit and adjacent GRC activities.

cons

Suite complexity for small teams

Organizations with lightweight audit needs may find the platform-oriented approach more complex than checklist- or workflow-first tools. Implementation and configuration can require more upfront design work to match an organization’s audit methodology. Smaller teams may not use enough of the feature set to justify the overhead.

Integrations vary by environment

Connecting audit workpapers and evidence to external systems (e.g., document repositories, ticketing, or ERP sources) often depends on available connectors, APIs, and internal IT support. Integration depth and effort can vary by customer environment and governance requirements. Buyers typically need to validate integration capabilities during evaluation.

Reporting customization may require setup

While audit reporting is a core capability, tailoring dashboards and reports to specific stakeholder formats can require configuration and ongoing maintenance. Some organizations may still export data for specialized analysis or board-ready formatting. Reporting needs should be mapped to the product’s native templates and configuration options during selection.

Plan & Pricing

No public, tiered, or usage-based pricing is published on Diligent's official website for Diligent Audit (Audit Management) or related audit modules. All product pages (Audit/Internal Audit, ACL Analytics, Internal Controls, Audit Quick Start, and Diligent One Platform) display "Request pricing" or "Request a demo" rather than published prices. The vendor’s legal Terms state that subscription fees are billed annually in advance but do not list dollar amounts. Therefore:

  • Public pricing: Not published on vendor site; contact sales required.
  • Pricing model: Quote-based / custom enterprise subscriptions (no public per-user or per-month tiers found).
  • Notes: Product pages explicitly direct users to Request Pricing/Contact Sales; Terms state subscription fees are paid annually in advance.
