May 23 (Reuters) - Private equity group Hg has agreed to

acquire AuditBoard in a deal valued at more than $3 billion, the

auditing and risk management software provider said on Thursday.

London-listed HgCapital Trust ( HGCTF ), which is managed by

Hg, said it would invest about 87.2 million pounds ($110.7

million) in AuditBoard through its Hg Saturn 3 fund along with

other institutional investors.

The investment will reduce HgT's commitments to invest in

Hg's transactions to about 739 million pounds, HgT said.

Founded in 2014 and privately held, California-based

AuditBoard counts Bank of New York Mellon ( BK ), Uber ( UBER ),

Lennar and Estee Lauder among its more than 2,000

customers for its cloud-based services.

The deal was first reported by Bloomberg News.
