What's New?

Cross-Service EvidenceIQ 

A-SCEND now works smarter across your compliance portfolio. The platform can analyze evidence files uploaded for an active audit and automatically compare them against the Information Request Lists (IRLs) of other audit services.

• Accessing: This feature will be available via the Engagement Dashboard once your current engagement has reached 80% evidence submitted.

• The Benefit: Quickly identify where existing evidence satisfies requirements for other frameworks, providing clear visibility into time and effort savings when pursuing new compliance engagements.

What's Changed?

"Under Review" Status for Requests 

To improve communication between auditors and clients, we’ve introduced a new "Under Review" status for Requests.

• Increased Clarity: Auditors can use this status to signal that evidence has been seen and is being evaluated, but requires further context before being fully accepted or marked as "Action Required."
• Better Tracking: Clients now have a more granular view of where their submissions stand in the review pipeline.
