DFK INTERNATIONAL MEMBER
I can honestly say that Tickmark Audit Software has simplified and sped up our audit process, mainly thanks to its ISA-compliant working papers and a clear workflow. As a manager, I have been enabled by Tickmark to clearly track everyone’s work and progress on each project (even when I am not on site), and provide team members with instant feedback through instruction notes.
PRIME GLOBAL MEMBER
Tickmark’s interface, although a little rugged-looking, is very straight forward and easy to use, so, the transition to using this software was uncomplicated. All the phases of the audit process are clearly laid out together with all the required steps. Also, linking and attaching documents is an excellent feature since everything pertaining to a particular project is in one place. Overall, an excellent product, which actually does improve one’s productivity.

Tickmark Audit software allows me a lot of flexibility in regards to when and where I can do the work since software works even without the internet connection and once I connect to the internet all my work is synchronized. It also allows me to track my teams’ work and provide them with feedback within each project. Overall, it is an excellent software which has significantly improved my teams’ collaborations and my own productivity.

FAQ
Where does Tickmark Audit Software store project data?
Tickmark Audit Software stores project data on Amazon web servers. Cloud security at AWS is their highest priority. AWS customers will benefit from a data centere and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organisations.
What is the level of data transfer security?
Data transfer from the local machine to cloud server is secured by SSL certificate – banking level security (100 % encryption).
How often does Tickmark Audit Software run backups?
Complete backups of all data synchronised with the server are performed daily.
How can I install Tickmark Audit Software?
After filling out our sign-up form, each Tickmark Audit Software user will receive an email with a link for application retrieval and installation. Upon link activation, the web page will open up in your default web browser.
Do I need Internet connection for Tickmark Audit Software login?
Tickmark Audit Software client application can be used irrespective of your internet connection status. If there is a healthy connection, i.e. in an online context, local data can be synchronised and updated with the central repository on the remote server in the cloud. On the contrary, if internet access is unavailable, our application still allows storing data in offline context. Once Internet access is available, both local and remote changes can be synced again.
Does each user have their unique login data?
Yes, initial passwords will be provided for each individual user, but it is highly recommended that users change their passwords the first time they login (through the application interface).
What does a single Project include?
In the Tickmark Audit Software, a single project represents the complete documentation that originates from the respective audit engagement. Usual project groups are “Planning tasks”, “Audit evidence”, and “Financial statements and Audit completion”; however, you can also create your own group names.
Can I add different access rights for a single team member?
You can add team members who will work on single projects, and also add different access rights for each user with just one click on "Manage Access". Access rights include Read, Write, Grant Access, Can Review, or Can Lock.
Can I create a new project from an existing project template?
Yes, you can use existing project templates to create a new project with the predefined content.
Can I add attachments into a project step?
Yes. It is often the case that electronic documents given by the client need to be included as audit evidence to the documentation. This data can be in different formats and cannot be copied directly into the application (e.g. PDF document). That's why we have created the possibility of adding such documents as attachments.
Is it possible to link a project step with an external document?
Yes. In the process of auditing, there still are hard copies that we can preserve as audit evidence or part of the documentation. In order to link these documents with our electronic documentation, you will find a category named "External references", which you can use for this purpose.
What does data synchronisation mean?
Synchronisation is very important as your work is sent to the server and allows others to see it, and hence, work on it. This also allows you to see the work of other team members and use it in your audit.
Can I sync just a part or all of a project?
Our application enables you to synchronize the whole project or just part of the project as a step or a group of steps.
What are Instruction Notes?
Instructions notes are tool used for communication among project team members. This is a place where you can write your notes related to the project. This note will be addressed to anyone working on the job, and will be visible to all members of the audit team. The Note will remain open until the status is resolved, as a reminder (we all know how it is easy to forget to document something when working on audit projects!). Upon completion of the audit, all instruction notes will be deleted.
What is project status?
The project status aligns the audit process with the International Audit standards and the standards of risk management. The project status could be "In progress", "Completed", "Reviewed", "Edited after review", and "Locked".
What happens if I decide to stop using Tickmark Audit Software?
Should you decide to stop working with Tickmark Audit Software, all your data and files will be stored to your local computer. However, you will not have the option of synchronising your data, collaborating with your team members, or having your data backed up on Cloud.
