About This Automation

Risk registers and findings management track audit results, control gaps, and remediation efforts across client engagements. Manual logging, email-based tracking, and spreadsheet updates create delays, duplicate entry, and incomplete visibility into remediation status.

Automation captures findings from multiple sources, assigns remediation owners, monitors progress in real time, and generates compliance reports on demand. the team spends less time chasing status updates and more time on verification and strategic risk oversight.

Key features
Capture findings from email, chat, and forms into a single structured register automatically
Assign remediation owners and deadlines with instant notification and acknowledgment
Monitor remediation progress by syncing updates from task management and email systems
Escalate overdue findings and send reminder notifications on a defined schedule
Verify closure evidence and mark findings closed with audit trail and timestamp
Generate compliance status reports and metrics exports in minutes instead of hours

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Finding Submitted via Formtrigger

A new risk or finding is submitted through a Google Form, capturing all required details in a structured format. The form submission triggers the automation immediately.

2. Log Finding to Register

The automation creates a new row risk register with all details from the form, including date, severity, description, and source. The entry is timestamped and assigned a unique ID.

3. Create Tracking Task

A task is automatically created with the finding details, assigned to the remediation owner, and set with the due date. The task includes a link back to the register entry.

4. Notify Stakeholders

Messages are sent to the remediation owner, the compliance team, and leadership, summarizing the finding and linking to the Jira task. Notifications include severity and deadline.

5. Track Remediation Updates

The automation monitors Jira task updates and comments, pulling status changes back register in real time. No manual spreadsheet updates are needed.

6. Send Overdue Reminders

The automation checks daily for findings approaching or past their deadline and sends reminders to the owner and compliance team. Escalation rules apply for critical findings.

7. Generate and Share Report

At scheduled intervals, the automation generates a summary report from the live register, including open, closed, and overdue findings, and shares it via email to leadership and auditors.
