/24-7PressRelease/ - ATLANTA, GA, January 21, 2008 - This new Audit Module seamlessly integrates into the core GRC&T solution, offering the Internal Audit department access and visibility to the same documentation, workflow, risk universe, and testing data that is used for external compliance monitoring.
"Automating the Internal Audit function on the same software platform being used for managing the enterprise's Governance, Risk, Compliance and Testing processes brings greater efficiency, cross-functional cooperation and ROI to any organization in any industry", said Joseph Cincotta, CEO of DoubleCheck. "With the implementation of the new AS5 guidance regarding increased reliance on third party and corporate testing, it has become more important than ever for the Internal Audit department to have a tool that not only can expedite their own activities, but interfaces with the rest of the organization's database for consistency," he added. AS5 refers to the audit of internal controls over financial reporting that is integrated with an audit of financial statements, an extension of the original provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.
"The introduction of the DoubleCheck Audit Module is significant on two levels: it demonstrates the continuous improvement to their product suite. But maybe more importantly, it provides a forward thinking tool that allows internal auditors to link into the auditing process and monitor what they couldn't very easily heretofore," said Norman Comstock, Managing Director in the UHY Advisors Technology Assurance and Advisory Services group. UHY Advisors-Texas recently signed an agreement with DoubleCheck to provide consulting services to allow DoubleCheck customers to effectively create data workflows and efficient views to such Risk and Controls Framework data.
Consistent with the growing "best practices" trend towards holistic, enterprise-level solutions instead of siloed departmental software tools, the new DoubleCheck Audit Module is offered only as part of the DoubleCheck GRC&T Enterprise Solution. This approach ensures that the maximum benefit can be realized at the Enterprise level of the company.
