Hi Chhayank,
All the big audit firms have their own customised audit softwares. It is usually divided into different panes and is very elaborate covering all the minute details of the audit, for instance, risk assessment, scheduling, planning, execution, review, report generation, trend analysis, committee reporting and storage.
Excel and word documents are used for the purpose of recording the work carried out for each area and not as evidence. Each worksheet records details of evidence checked thoroughly so that if anyone wants to review can follow it and repeat the process easily. Sample evidences are retained as hard copy which is representative of the work done.
