Controls Automation: The Key to Efficiencies and Strong Security and Reporting

In today's world of increasing regulation and rising internal and external threats, a strong internal control system has never been more paramount to companies of all sizes.  However, the cost of internal controls, especially when the control is manual, can add up, and the risk of errors increases when manual controls are in place. 

Business applications are front and center not only for generating financials, but also for supporting and reporting on the operations of key business processes and initiatives.  Many of these processes have regulations that require reporting, and the source application from which the data is gathered and reported must be secure.  Strong internal controls are required, and automating these controls provides the best way to lower security risks, so the output from these applications can be trusted.

Regulations like SOX, the UK Corporate Reform Act, ESG, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and others require robust reporting and a strong internal control system to ensure data can be trusted. Automation also improves the sustainability of these applications and their IT general controls (ITGCs).
