Thanks for reading the August newsletter. Hopefully you will have the chance to take some time off this month and recharge the batteries.
Apart from being resellers of ACL, we also provide consultancy services in data analytics. One of the greatest areas of interest is around the detection and recovery of duplicate payments. Despite the interest in this area, the intricacies of implementing duplicate payment analytics are not well understood. This newsletter introduces a series of articles on the subject that will help you build a picture of what is involved and how you can use ACL to implement a duplicate payments strategy.
If you are a lapsed ACL user or just considering introducing it to your organisation, I hope you will take advantage of our free evaluation offer, which entitles you to fully supported use of ACL Desktop edition for 30 days.
Best regards,
Robin Clough

Analysing improper payments
The President of the United States instructed his Administration to reduce improper payments by £31 million by 2012 – the challenge was to determine how this could be done efficiently.
Audit software serves a pivotal role in providing adequate transparency and appropriate accountability in government and business. According to Col. Kelley, audit technology enables agencies to do forensics work and test 100% of the transactions.
