Internal Audit Software

The University of Michigan Office of Audit Services has issued Request for Proposal RFP-0012413-TECH-2026 to procure a comprehensive, secure, and scalable audit management software solution. The intended platform will support the full internal audit lifecycle—including planning, risk assessment, engagement management, workpaper documentation, issue tracking, and analytics—across the University's Ann Arbor campuses and Michigan Medicine. The primary objective is to enhance efficiency, collaboration, and visibility into audit status and results. Proposals are due by November 2, 2026, following a pre-bid conference scheduled for October 5, 2026. The University will evaluate vendors based on several critical factors, including solution capabilities, implementation methodology, data security controls, integration options, training and support models, pricing structure, and contractual compliance. Selected suppliers must adhere to strict regulatory and accessibility standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Mandatory legal agreements include a Data Security Agreement (DSA) and, if the vendor accesses HIPAA-protected information, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), both of which must be signed as is. Payment terms are set at Net 0 days for suppliers in the University's virtual card program or Net 45 days otherwise, with payments made via check, ACH, or wire transfer.
