via Business Wire

Wolters Kluwer, a global leader in professional information, software solutions, and services today announced that it has launched new enhancements to TeamMate+ Controls. The solution, supported by new capabilities, is designed to empower Internal Controls and Assurance professionals with greater flexibility and insights.

Frans Klaassen, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Audit & Assurance and Corporate Tax said: “In today’s fast-paced and complex business environment, internal controls are more than just safeguards, they’re essential to achieving strategic objectives. Assurance professionals need a solution that’s purpose-built for their unique responsibilities. TeamMate+ Controls builds on our strengths and is designed specifically for internal audit and internal control teams, enabling them to embed effective controls into daily operations, align assurance with strategic priorities, and drive performance and resilience without unnecessary overhead. The focus is providing assurance professionals with exactly what they need to lead with clarity and impact.”

Focusing on the strategic importance of internal controls, Wolters Kluwer conducted a survey to explore key challenges and opportunities for Controls with 2,167 Assurance professionals on June 10, 2025, during Navigating Assurance, a webinar from Wolters Kluwer TeamMate.

Key product enhancements and data insights:

  • 40.6% of survey respondents characterize their Internal Audit function’s collaboration with 2nd Line assurance providers as limited or reactive, although 34.3% report deep and proactive coordination. Through customizing access levels, it is possible to drive collaboration while managing document sensitivity.



    TeamMate+ provides Advanced Permission Settings: Team leaders can now customize access levels for each member, ensuring that sensitive information is protected while promoting transparency and collaboration.

  • 40.3% of respondents report that executive leaders rely equally on Internal Audit and 2nd Line functions for strategic insight and foresight over key risks. Real-time activity monitoring enables greater transparency and opportunities for efficient and effective risk management across teams. This is improved when these functions coordinate their activities within TeamMate+.



    TeamMate+ provides Real-Time Activity Monitoring: All stakeholders can now access real-time updates on team activities, allowing for timely interventions and support.

  • 29.8% of respondents identified communication as a priority area for enhancement for internal audit teams. Enhanced communication tools can ensure greater visibility and understanding of the role of internal audit alongside driving efficiency.



    TeamMate+ provides Enhanced Communication Tools: Improved messaging and notification systems keep everyone in the loop, reducing the chances of miscommunication.

Designed to meet rising assurance expectations, TeamMate+ Controls streamlines control documentation, automates testing and monitoring, and fosters business ownership, reducing manual effort, providing real-time insights, aligning assurance functions, and elevating Assurance teams as strategic partners.
