By joining forces with EY, AuditBoard is pursuing a clear objective: to accelerate its international expansion, and in particular its development in Europe, a strategic but complex market to penetrate. Historically established in the United States, AuditBoard has to deal with strong local specificities, particularly in terms of regulations(corporate governance reform in the UK, European internal control standards, etc.). This partnership with EY gives the company immediate access to an international sales network and strong local credibility. EY, which is present in over 150 countries, also gives the company access to a portfolio of key accounts, particularly in the most demanding sectors (finance, energy, industry), which are natural targets for the SaaS risk management, audit and compliance solutions developed by AuditBoard.
This alliance also responds to new market expectations in terms of auditing: companies today are looking for flexible, real-time, unified tools, far removed from traditional approaches based on manual audits. EY appears to be the ideal partner to support this offering: this alliance will enable AuditBoard to accelerate its development in Europe, gain access to strategic transformation projects led by EY, and see its tools integrated into EY's cyber platform.
Founded in 2014 by auditing professionals faced with the limitations of traditional tools, AuditBoard has established itself as a major player in the field of risk management. The company has over 2,000 customers, including more than 50% of Fortune 500 companies, and can count on more than 800 employees to offer ever more personalized follow-up.
