Dimeri for Internal Audit Teams

Risk Management Software for Internal Audit Teams

Internal audit's effectiveness depends on understanding where the organisation's real risks sit — not where management says they were six months ago.

Core Risk Use Cases

Built for How Your Industry Actually Works

Risk-Based Planning from a Live Register

Dimeri's risk register — scored by likelihood and impact, distributed across a 5×5 heat map, and updated continuously — gives internal audit teams a planning basis that reflects current risk reality.

  • High and critical risks are immediately visible.
  • When conditions change mid-year and risk scores escalate, the coverage view updates.

Control Coverage Review

Every risk in Dimeri's register has preventive, detective, and corrective controls already mapped to it, with effectiveness ratings from the organisation's own testing history.

  • Internal audit teams use this as the starting point for control reviews — assessing whether the controls the business relies on are adequately designed and operating effectively, using the same control library management uses day-to-day.
  • No separate inventory to build.

Three Lines Assurance Visibility

Dimeri's Assurance module maps every risk to the lines of defence that address it: first-line operational ownership, second-line risk and compliance oversight, and third-line coverage.

  • The assurance coverage dashboard shows where significant risks have strong assurance lines and where gaps exist.
  • Internal audit can use this view to identify areas that lack any adequate line of coverage — a governance gap worth raising with the audit committee.

Audit Committee Reporting

Dimeri's AI generates structured executive risk summaries from live platform data — risk landscape overview, heat map, top-risk summary, control effectiveness by category, and assurance coverage — in one click, exportable to PDF, Word, or Excel.

  • The audit committee sees the risk picture as it stands at the time of the meeting, not as it was compiled manually the week before.
  • Reports can be generated on demand when significant risk events occur between scheduled meetings.

AI analysis identifies that the payroll controls gap and the IT privileged access gap are causally linked — access rights to the payroll system accumulated beyond role requirements after an IT migration 18 months ago when the scheduled access review was deferred. Reviewing both together in a single combined engagement is more efficient and would surface the shared root cause that separate reviews would miss.

Control & Incident Tracking

Three Lines of Defence — Tracked and Tested

Every risk in your register links to preventive, detective, and corrective controls. Effectiveness percentages update as evidence is logged. Full audit trail for regulators.

Preventive

Live Risk Register as Planning Basis

The risk register is always current — updated by incident outcomes, control test results, and operational events. Internal audit teams plan from a risk picture that reflects today's environment, not last year's workshop. High and critical risks are immediately visible. Coverage can be directed where residual risk is actually concentrated.

Effectiveness: 93%
Detective

Control Effectiveness View & Three Lines Coverage Dashboard

Controls mapped to every risk with effectiveness ratings and testing history — no separate inventory required. The three lines assurance dashboard identifies where high-residual risks lack adequate coverage across any line. Gaps in assurance coverage are surfaced from data, not from anecdotal assessment.

Effectiveness: 88%
Corrective

AI-Generated Audit Committee Reporting

AI generates structured executive risk summaries from live platform data — risk landscape, heat map, control effectiveness, assurance coverage — in one click, exportable to PDF, Word, or Excel. Reporting to the audit committee draws from the same data the risk function manages operationally. No manual compilation. Available on demand.

Effectiveness: 84%

Why Spreadsheets Fail in This Industry

Spreadsheets cannot handle the complexity, volume, and real-time demands of modern industrial risk management. Here is where they consistently break down — and what Dimeri does instead.

Spreadsheet ProblemDimeri Solution
Audit planning based on a risk register last updated at the annual workshop
Planning based on a live register that updates continuously — risk scores reflect the current environment, not a past point in time
Control inventory built separately for each audit, duplicating work done by the risk function
Controls already mapped to every risk with effectiveness ratings — internal audit uses the same library management relies on
Three lines coverage assessed anecdotally — no structured view of where gaps exist
Assurance module maps coverage across all three lines with a dashboard showing risks that lack adequate coverage
Audit committee report compiled manually from multiple sources the week before the meeting
AI-generated risk summary from live data in one click — available any time, reflects current risk position
No visibility into whether high-risk areas are covered by any assurance line
Coverage dashboard shows every high-residual risk against its assurance lines — gaps are visible at a glance
