Ideagen releases Pentana version 5

Ideagen has released the latest version of its market leading, risk-based audit automation software which comprises a substantially enhanced user experience and new features to support browser-based risk management.

Ideagen Pentana version 5 provides web access to audit findings, custom fields and user defined views to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of assurance processes.

Building on the Web Actions feature introduced in 4.2, Pentana 5.0 brings several more important end user tools to the browser interface including Web Risks, Web Findings and Web Views.

User experience improvements include improved performance when producing reports, multi lingual pick lists to let users see UI and system messages in their own language and a new look and feel to bring it in line with other Ideagen federated products.

Ken Ebbage, Ideagen’s Head of Products, said: 'Ideagen Pentana is trusted and used by over 450 clients worldwide and offers a complete solution for risk-based auditing.

Ideagen Pentana v5 will be supplied as a free upgrade to Ideagen’s existing supported client base, including those who upgrade from the company’s legacy Pentana Audit Work System (PAWS).
