About Me

So, I'm trapped in audit. At least for the time being. Whilst I'm here I may as well make constructive use of my time. So I'll share some of my thoughts and experiences

Problems with PAWS

In addition to my unfortunate predicament of being trapped in audit, my fate is worsened by being trapped with PAWS (Pentana Audit Work System, by Pentana). How do these people live with themselves writing and selling such crap software?

Some of the problems I have encountered to date:

  • No text search of the database field in PAWS
  • No text search of attachments
  • Lack of many-to-many relationship functionality (controls frequently address more than one risk, as do audit steps)
  • No rich text
  • No upload from a PAWS file to the Library
  • No sectioning in the Library
  • No upload to PAWS from text/Excel format
  • No sign-off of attachments
