Dimeri Internal Audits

Overview

Dimeri Internal Audits is a web-based tool for planning and coordinating internal audits, managing findings, and reporting to an audit committee. It is best suited to organisations with formal oversight needs that want those activities in one workspace. Its strongest case is the audit-planning and follow-up workflow; the free workspace is limited, and access to workpaper management and reporting may require an upgrade.

Key features

Plan engagements and allocate work

The risk-based annual plan, coverage mapping, audit calendar, and resource-utilisation tracking connect audit priorities to scheduled engagements and team capacity. That is useful for audit functions managing a programme across multiple risks, rather than simply recording individual reviews. Controls testing and risk assessment are also part of the offering.

Draft workpapers with AI assistance

Dimeri can draft workpapers using engagement scope and prior findings, with procedures, observations, conclusions, and version history. This gives auditors a structured starting point and a way to track revisions, but the free workspace may not include workpaper management. Teams considering the product should check whether their chosen plan supports the full workpaper workflow.

Follow findings through remediation

Findings can record severity, root cause, and management responses, link to risks and controls, and be tracked through follow-up actions with automated overdue reminders. This makes the product more relevant to teams responsible for seeing recommendations through than a tool focused only on documenting audit work.

Report to oversight bodies

Audit reports can include executive summaries, findings, and recommendations, with PDF or Word export. Dimeri says its workflows align with IIA Standards, King IV, PFMA, and AGSA requirements, a useful fit for organisations working within those frameworks. Automated reporting may require an upgrade.

Security and access

Dimeri says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, workspaces are isolated, and customer data is not used to train AI models. Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles and a full activity audit trail provide administrative controls; SAML single sign-on is for Business customers.

Pricing

Dimeri uses a freemium model, but the audit workspace has separate capability limits from the general AI plan descriptions. The free audit workspace includes planning, engagement management, and findings tracking for up to three users. It has no connectors, and workpaper management, automated reporting, and premium integrations may require an upgrade.

• Free — 0.00 ZAR per free (billed R0/ forever): The general plan includes 10 AI messages per day, AI dashboard access, and basic GRC research and drafting. It has no export, connectors, or custom dashboards. For audit teams, the workspace is capped at three users and does not include connectors.
• Starter — 300.00 ZAR per month (billed R300/ month): Adds unlimited AI messages, research mode, and policy and checklist drafting. It is a low-cost step up for teams needing more AI use, but the plan description does not include exports or connectors.
• Professional — 500.00 ZAR per month (billed R500/ month): Includes Starter features plus PDF, Word, and Excel export, custom dashboards, and Kanban boards. It suits teams that need export and workflow flexibility, though connectors are reserved for Business.
• Business — 700.00 ZAR per month (billed R700/ month): Includes Professional features and connectors for Excel, Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint. SAML single sign-on and priority email support are also associated with this tier.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Includes full record modules, including Internal Audit, Risk Register, AI-linked Controls, and AI Reports, alongside team collaboration, dedicated onboarding, and an African regulatory corpus. It is the clearest fit for organisations needing the full GRC suite rather than a limited workspace.

Free and Starter include standard email support; Professional and Business include priority email support. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Platforms

Dimeri Internal Audits is available on the web. The listed headquarters is Durban, South Africa.

Who it's for

Dimeri identifies listed companies, public sector entities, financial institutions, state-owned enterprises, and organisations with audit committees or regulatory oversight as intended users. Its standards alignment and audit-to-remediation workflow suit teams with recurring, structured audit programmes. A small team can start with planning and findings follow-up, but should confirm plan coverage before relying on the free workspace for workpapers, reporting, or integrations.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Connected audit lifecycle: Planning, engagement coordination, findings, remediation follow-up, and reporting address several stages of an audit programme in one workspace.
• Structured AI workpaper drafts: Drafts can draw on scope and prior findings and include version history, giving auditors a defined starting point.
• Oversight-oriented controls: Findings can link to risks and controls, while roles and an activity trail support accountability.

Cons

• Free access is constrained: It is capped at three users and has no connectors; workpaper management and automated reporting may require an upgrade.
• Connectors start at Business: Teams that need Excel, Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint connections must move beyond the cheaper tiers.
• Enterprise cost requires a quote: Organisations needing full record modules cannot compare a published Enterprise price.

Verdict

Dimeri Internal Audits is a strong candidate for organisations with audit committees or regulatory oversight that want to connect annual planning, findings follow-up, and committee reporting in a web workspace. Its AI-assisted workpaper drafts and links between findings, risks, and controls add practical structure. Look elsewhere if you need connectors or full workpaper and reporting workflows without upgrading, or if you require a published Enterprise price before evaluating a full GRC suite.
