A key component of an audit tender is the data room that underpins its delivery, many providers purport to offer a robust platform but it is key to ensure the data room truly delivers a user- friendly solution that is intuitive and simple to navigate for the unaccustomed user.
During the preparation for the Nestle Audit Tender we reviewed the solutions offered by four potential suppliers, Sterling Virtual Data Rooms was the standout solution, this due to three key factors:
-
The reporting functionality of the tool, enabling me as project manager to review daily progress of the data room population, the access by firm’s personnel during the tender and oversight of the questions being raised by the firms.
-
Excellent security of data and access controls.
-
24/7 support to all users including specific training to both my team on the use of the data room and how to load information as well as specific training sessions for each of the firms participating in the tender on how to navigate the data room, ask questions and review files.
“Working with Graham during the nestle audit tender process, he demonstrated an in depth knowledge of the company, its people, its ethos and what was required to deliver a global transparent, balanced audit tender.”
