## The answer, as recorded

> For most nonprofits, "audit management" means getting through the annual financial statement audit or Single Audit. What helps most there is a fund accounting system with a clean audit trail plus a good tool for handling your auditor's document requests. Dedicated internal-audit or GRC platforms (governance, risk and compliance) are usually only worth it for large nonprofits like hospitals, universities or big international NGOs. Here's what I'd name, in order.

> 1. **Sage Intacct.** This is my first pick for mid-size and larger nonprofits with grants, several entities or complicated restricted funds. It has approval workflows, audit trails, and fund-level reporting that ties restricted activity to your financial statements. Once grant complexity and audit demands grow, it's the better long-term choice.
