NETBankAudit serves as our internal auditing team. Their attention to detail and mastery of regulations are invaluable tools to our organization. During the audit, when they have a recommendation or finding, they partner with us and aide us in an internal audit liaison capacity. It is not a typical auditor firm’s approach, who just present their report and findings with limited direction or follow-up. NETBankAudit’s approach also helps us prepare for regulatory reviews with regular “heads-up” guidance and coaching. The examiners value NETBankAudit’s quality and depth of coverage and leverage the detailed audit work papers to facilitate the examination process.

Being a community bank in a heavily regulated industry, we are constantly challenged to keep pace with expectations for protecting our informational and operational technology against existing and emerging threats. NetBankAudit provided the cost-conscious bank-specific auditing solution we were looking for. Their team of experienced professionals has been more than helpful in fine-tuning our policies and procedures, and the audits were thorough, informative, and meaningful. By making themselves available for consultation or assistance between audit cycles, it is more of a “we” engagement and not an “us vs. them” engagement that really distinguishes NetBankAudit from others we have used in the past.
