ACL Analytics Exchange Solutions

Controls are the insurance policy that protects your organisation. It is up to audit, finance, risk and compliance teams to be on top of instances of control weaknesses and protect the bottom line. Blind spots have long-term damaging effects that can take years to recover.

ACL™ Analytics Exchange is a server-based technology that helps organisations conduct ad-hoc and repetitive analysis right through to continuous transaction monitoring. Centralised data extraction, analysis and collaboration drive team efficiencies, improve quality of work, and promote best practices while protecting your organisation against blind spots.

Choose the Ideal Solution for your Business

AX technology powers two discrete solutions: The Data Analysis for Teams solution allows organisations to analyse data and uncover what has happened so remediation can occur. The Enterprise Continuous Monitoring solution empowers companies to continuously monitor the health of their controls and proactively look for gaps.

Designed to Meet All Users’ Needs

ECM is designed to be a flexible user-based solution. User roles can be mixed and matched to best suit your unique business requirements.

• Architect: A data specialist within the team that has thorough knowledge of the organisation’s data; creates and schedules ACL analytics. May also be an administrator that provides access privileges.
• Specialist: An auditor or compliance officer that has in-depth knowledge of the business’ processes and governance rules. After generating analytic results from the tests created by the Architect, the Specialist can investigate further using either the web client or Microsoft Excel® add-on.
• Reviewer: A business department manager who is responsible for day-to-day operations. All exceptions detected from the analytic tests either scheduled by the Architect or detected by the Specialist are sent directly to the Reviewers for immediate remediation.
