Innovation in Automated/Continuous Control Management
Executive Summary
To address internal control failures and risk, organizations are establishing an automated internal control strategy with process and technology to build and maintain control automation that balances business agility, control, and security to mitigate risk, reduce loss/exposure, and satisfy auditors and regulators while enabling users to perform their jobs.
