Glasscubes centralises PBC requests, giving your team and clients a faster, more organised way to collaborate.
As the volume and complexity of audit data grows, auditors struggle with the limitations of email. It is inadequate for managing the high volume of information flow between the audit team and clients.
"Client delays create bottlenecks, workload pileups, and deadline pressure."
"Poor visibility leads to missed communications, duplicated requests, and unclear status updates."
"Information sent piecemeal to different team members causes confusion."
We've received positive feedback from clients who enjoy having all their information and queries in one place rather than constant emails in their inboxes. Clients like knowing they just log on to Glasscubes and see precisely what's outstanding. The audit team enjoys the transparency of seeing everything, and we're getting quicker responses from clients than we used to via email.

I am using this to coordinate with the accounting firm for our annual audit, so far i have found this very interactive and with notification features, it keeps me on track with my outstanding tasks. I will highly recommend this.
What is a PBC list, and can Glasscubes run it?
A PBC ("prepared by client") list is the set of documents and information an audit team asks the client for. Glasscubes runs it as an information request: each item on the list is tracked, the client uploads or answers against it, and the whole team sees what is still outstanding.
Can clients see exactly what is outstanding?
Yes. Clients see precisely what is still needed, and the audit team gets one view of every request and response, so nothing is sent piecemeal to different people.
Does it chase overdue PBC items?
Yes. Reminders go out by email, and by text if you switch it on, before and after the due date, and stop once the client has completed the request. How automatic reminders work.
Can we reuse last year's PBC list?
Yes. Save a list as a request template and send it again next year, or schedule it as a recurring request.
Do clients need a login?
No. Each request has its own secure link, so clients upload and answer without creating an account or remembering a password. For sensitive requests you can add a one-time code sent by email or text. How upload links work.
Where is audit evidence held?
In the UK. All data is synchronised and stored in at least three separate locations, miles apart and all in the UK. Glasscubes is ISO/IEC 27001 certified by CfA, a UKAS-accredited body, and Cyber Essentials certified by IASME. See our security page.
How much would a six-person audit team pay?
On the Essential plan, £96 a month plus 6 × £14.40 per user: £182.40 a month, excluding VAT. See pricing for the other plans.
