ACL Launches Audit and Financial Control Solution for SAP ERP

ACL, provider of technology solutions in audit, compliance and risk management, has launched the pre-packaged ACL Audit and Financial Control Solution for SAP ERP.

The solution assists audit, risk and compliance teams in gaining access to transactional SAP data necessary to test controls and ensure regulatory compliance under Sarbanes-Oxley and other financial requirements.

ACL has also released a new version of ACL Direct Link for SAP ERP and SAP CRM, an SAP-certified data extraction add-on for ACL Analytics and ACL Analytics Exchange.

The Audit and Financial Control turnkey solution was designed for integration with ACL’s data analysis and audit and compliance management software, and includes analytic scripts that leverage Direct Link and data models tailored for SAP ERP.

The solution also enables users to: eliminate roadblocks typically found when exporting data held within SAP systems, expand the scope of audits, uncover key information hidden in SAP data, generate faster results, and deliver credible governance, risk management and compliance with effective analytics.

“There are countless barriers to effectively auditing SAP ERP data, such as delays with obtaining IT department assistance, difficulty in determining the most relevant data, and a lack of technology to analyze massive volumes of data,” stated Keith Cerny, vice president of research and development at ACL. “Our new offerings break down the walls for auditors, risk management, and compliance professionals, allowing them to directly access information that they previously would have had to obtain through IT.”
