Corporate governance standards today require extensive
testing and verification of the control environment to comply
with regulations ranging from Sarbanes-Oxley to ISO 9000 to
Basel II. Complying with corporate governance requirements
can be time consuming and expensive, hence efficient and
sophisticated approaches are necessary.
Solutions must deliver this efficiency and sophistication.
Companies must be able to determine what controls are
monitored, when they are monitored and how the results are
managed. Solutions therefore must be scalable and adaptable
to changes in the company’s control and risk environment.
The SymSure Concept
The SymSure Monitor provides internal auditors, executives
and decision-makers the tools to decrease risk levels and
increase regulatory compliance organisation-wide.
The two most critical concepts are:
- The ability to monitor any control within any
application system.
- Comprehensive management of exceptions to
ensure that control weaknesses are adequately
addressed.
Consistent, Customizable Controls
The SymSure Monitor provides customizable, standardised
tests for any business process. Periodic auditing long after
the fact becomes a thing of the past. The SymSure Monitor
oversees infinite automated controls within business systems,
reports the exceptions and manages their resolution.

Pre-built Modules
SymSure’s open design enables users to integrate any
existing ACL application into the monitor. Pre-built
Modules or applications can be implemented across
various organisations.
Pre-built modules offer:
- Standardised tests for specific business processes.
- Compliance requirements based on regulations
such as Sarbanes-Oxley demand consistency
organisation-wide.
- Faster and more efficient implementations.
Because the module has already been developed,
the implementation is faster and easier – and the
return on investment quicker.
- Higher quality modules.
The SymSure Monitor is a sophisticated risk and controls
monitoring solution that independently examines controls
within business systems and alerts stakeholders of controls
that have failed or are failing.
SymSure Monitor harnesses the power of audit scripting
languages, such as ACL. By creating a standard framework
for interactive monitoring of risks and controls, SymSure
Monitor efficiently transforms any
group of reusable scripts into a full blown application system.
SymSure makes scripting simpler and more manageable, by
building on skills already available in the audit profession. With
SymSure Monitor, auditors can quickly and confidently
monitor
any control within any automated system.
SymSure Monitor offers:
- Customizable detection of control
weaknesses.
- Enterprise-wide exception and issues
management.
- Prompt notification system via e-mail or
mobile devices.
- Review process, featuring assigning
exceptions to
users for action, including
turnaround time.
- Scheduling tests based on time or event.
- Dynamic management of reports (user
controlled
addition, removal, modifications,
etc.).
- Advanced security architecture (logical
security,
audit trails, single sign-on).
- Ability to incorporate new tests or modify
existing ones.
User friendly interfaces offer maximum flexibility and
effectiveness. Users can customize all aspects of the monitor,
from images and color schemes to how and when the
monitor should run. |
