Rayterton Compliance, Audit & Internal Control
Strong governance, measurable controls, audit-ready evidence
A governance and assurance platform for ministries and public institutions: policy and control libraries, risk register, control testing and monitoring, audit planning and execution, findings and remediation tracking, evidence management, and executive dashboards, all backed by full audit trails.
Why ministries modernize compliance and internal control
Many findings come from gaps between policy and execution: unclear ownership, missing evidence, manual follow-ups, and inconsistent control testing. A centralized GRC approach helps ministries standardize controls, track testing, and ensure every finding has a measurable remediation plan.
One source of truth for policies and controls
Standardize internal controls across units with clear ownership, frequency, and evidence expectations.
- ✓Policy, SOP, and control libraries
- ✓Control ownership and schedules
- ✓Evidence requirements per control
Risk register linked to controls
Map risks to mitigation plans and the controls that reduce them.
- ✓Risk identification and classification
- ✓Impact, likelihood, and scoring
- ✓Link risks to controls and programs
Evidence packs and traceable actions
Keep audit trails for approvals, control tests, and remediation actions in one place.
- ✓Immutable activity logs
- ✓Evidence attachments and versioning
- ✓Exportable audit-ready packs
Core modules (management-friendly and implementation-ready)
Start with policy and control libraries, then activate risk management, control testing, internal audit workflows, and remediation tracking with dashboards that show governance maturity in real time.
Policy, SOP & Document Governance
Central repository for governance documents with ownership and controlled updates.
- ✓Policy and SOP library with metadata
- ✓Versioning, review cycle, approvals
- ✓Distribution and acknowledgment tracking (optional)
Internal Control Library
Define control objectives, activities, frequency, and evidence expectations.
- ✓Control catalog by process and unit
- ✓Owner assignment and control schedule
- ✓Evidence checklist per control
Risk Register & Mitigation Plans
Maintain risk inventory and mitigation actions with measurable progress.
- ✓Risk scoring: impact and likelihood
- ✓Mitigation actions with owners and due dates
- ✓Link risks to controls and programs
Control Self-Assessment (CSA)
Periodic self-assessment for control owners to report execution and evidence.
- ✓CSA questionnaires and scoring (configurable)
- ✓Evidence uploads and attestation
- ✓Escalation for late submissions
Control Testing & Effectiveness Monitoring
Testing schedules, sampling, results, and effectiveness metrics for key controls.
- ✓Test plans and sampling notes
- ✓Pass/fail results and findings linkage
- ✓Effectiveness scoring and trend
Internal Audit Planning & Engagements
Audit universe, annual plan, audit programs, and workpaper tracking.
- ✓Annual audit plan with approvals
- ✓Audit program checklist and workpapers
- ✓Time, scope, and evidence tracking
Findings, Recommendations & Ratings
Centralized findings register with severity, root cause, and recommended actions.
- ✓Severity and category classification
- ✓Root cause and impact documentation
- ✓Approval workflow and communications logs
Remediation Tracking & Follow-up
Action plans, owner assignments, due dates, and verification for closure.
- ✓Remediation tasks and progress status
- ✓Evidence submission and reviewer verification
- ✓Escalations for overdue actions
Executive Dashboards & Governance KPIs
Dashboards for leadership: risk heatmap, findings status, and control effectiveness.
- ✓Risk heatmap and top risks
- ✓Open findings, overdue actions, closure rate
- ✓Control test results and effectiveness trend
Example dashboards that usually win leadership over

Audit Committee / Secretary General Cockpit
Top risks, open findings, overdue remediation, and governance maturity indicators.
Internal Audit Command Center
Audit plan progress, engagements, workpapers status, and findings pipeline.
Control Effectiveness Monitoring
Key control tests, failure rates, recurring issues, and evidence quality indicators.
Findings to Remediation Timeline
End-to-end traceability: finding issuance, action plans, evidence, verification, closure.
Architecture, integration, and security (what IT and auditors want to see)
Designed for government environments: strict access control, traceable operations, controlled evidence handling, and integration flexibility across finance, procurement, HR, and service platforms.
Integration Hub
Connect governance monitoring to operational systems where controls are executed.
- ✓REST API with token-based access
- ✓Import/export templates (findings, risks, controls)
- ✓Webhook events (optional)
Security Controls
Controls to support internal policies and external audits.
- ✓Role-based access, segregation of duties
- ✓Audit logs for every create/update/approve action
- ✓Session controls and IP allowlist (optional)
Evidence Governance
Evidence integrity and retention support for official review and investigations.
- ✓Evidence retention and archival rules (optional)
- ✓Document versioning and access logs
- ✓Export packs for audit and oversight
Implementation approach (safe rollout, measurable governance maturity)
Governance transformation succeeds when implemented in phases: establish the control library, activate risk register, run control testing cycles, and standardize audit workflows with measurable remediation tracking.
Phase 1: Foundation
Policy library, control library, roles, and reporting baselines.
- ✓Control taxonomy and ownership
- ✓Evidence standards and templates
- ✓Leadership dashboards baseline
Phase 2: Risk + Control Testing
Risk register activation, CSA cycles, and control testing schedules with results tracking.
- ✓Risk scoring and mitigation plans
- ✓CSA workflow and attestations
- ✓Control test results and follow-ups
Phase 3: Audit + Remediation Governance
Internal audit planning, engagements, findings, and remediation workflows with escalation.
- ✓Annual audit plan and audit programs
- ✓Findings register and recommendations
- ✓Remediation tracking and closure verification
