CONTROL CHALLENGES
Information drives today’s world. Companies need information to understand their customers, ensure compliance with government regulations, maximize efficiencies within business processes, and make informed business decisions. Without effective information management though, companies cannot turn information into knowledge.

The cost of bad information cost U.S. companies upwards of $600 billion per year according to the Data Warehousing Institute and in some cases can account for 10% of a compay’s revenue.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) legislation establishing new standards in financial monitoring and reporting has created a whole new awareness for internal process controls and the need to monitor information.

With such an increase in the focus on information management companies are looking for ways to more easily analyze, monitor and understand the information they have.

OUR SOLUTION
Most organizations today are driven by IT systems. Few companies manage their data manually and most rely on electronic management of data, documents, and key operational processes. Therefore, it is apparent that IT plays a vital role in internal control.
