5 13 Detect More and Faster with Continuous Monitoring and Advanced Pattern Analysis Continuous Monitoring of Controls and Transactions Monitor 100% of transactions and controls in real time Apply Advanced Forensic and Pattern Analysis Visually identify suspect transactions using Benford Pattern analysis Invoice Accounts Payables Duplicate POs Duplicate/ Overpayment Suppliers Test integrity of transactions and controls across business processes Identify anomalies missed by traditional audit and controls Business Users Easily Build Controls and Reports Quickly Build and Adapt Controls Business rules and a drag-and-drop workbench makes even the most complex rules easy to build. Self-Service Dashboard Reports Business users can create interactive dashboards and personalized reporting on the fly. 14 Remediate High Impact Violations with Integrated Risk Prioritization and Incident Management Risk Prioritization Consolidated controls mgmt. and dashboard reporting automatically maps higher impact risks. Incident Management Integrated workflow efficiently resolves identified incidents and tracks status. 15
