One engagement, from scope to signed report.

The audit team, the reviewer and the institution work in one place, with the Directive's structure built in. Here is how a CISD 2026 engagement runs, on real screens from the worked example.
01

Scope

Start from what the Bank of Ghana actually asks of this institution, not the whole Directive.

  • The entity type sets the Annex A tier, with a field for a BoG-approved override.
  • Eighteen scoping questions switch off what doesn't apply, and say why.
  • The count of applicable requirements updates as you answer.

02

Plan the team

Divide the audit by area so everyone knows what's theirs from day one.

  • Assign each of the audit areas to an auditor, with the auditee and fieldwork dates.
  • Progress per area, so the lead sees what's moving and what isn't.
  • The engagement lead and reviewer are named on the report from the start.

03

Request evidence

Ask the institution once, clearly, and get documents back in one place.

  • The request list builds itself from the scope, grouped by topic with what usually satisfies it.
  • The institution's people answer in their own portal and see nothing else.
  • Uploads are checked, scanned and fingerprinted the moment they arrive.

Assess

Requirement by requirement, with the Directive's text and every mapping beside you.

  • Status, risk, owner, target date, observation and recommendation on each requirement.
  • Mappings to Acts 987, 1038 and 843, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, COBIT, CIS and OWASP.
  • Link evidence from the vault, so every rating has its proof attached.

05

Review

A second pair of eyes on every area before anything reaches the report.

  • Submit an area; a reviewer approves it or returns it with a note.
  • Approved areas lock, so the report is built from reviewed work only.
  • Every change is logged with who made it, and what it was before and after.

06

See where you stand

A dashboard that answers the board's questions without a spreadsheet.

  • Weighted compliance and its rating band, explained figure by figure.
  • Weakest areas first, open gaps by risk, and every law and framework side by side.
  • A portfolio view across all your engagements and clients.

Report

The audit report writes its first draft from the results; the auditor's judgement finishes it.

  • Executive summary and opinion drafted from the ratings, editable before issue.
  • Issued as a numbered, fingerprinted PDF, with every version kept.
  • The workbook (XLSX) and findings register (CSV) go with it.

08

Follow up and roll forward

The audit doesn't end at the report. Gaps are followed to closure, then next year starts from here.

  • Send findings to management for a response, owner and target date.
  • Verify each fix, or record an accepted risk, and see every finding's stage.
  • Roll forward: same client, scope and team, with open findings and valid evidence carried over.

Built on the Directive

The whole of CISD 2026, already structured.

Every operative paragraph and annexure, tiered by Annex A and mapped to the laws and frameworks your institution answers to. Versioned, so an issued report never shifts under you.
