Financial software can be configured in a number of ways to produce various financial reports. But where does the information in those reports come from? What systems are involved? Who has access to them? Who is authorized to make changes to the systems or to the transactions?
These types of questions must be addressed in order for companies to maintain the integrity of transactions and the reporting of financial data — an issue that is becoming increasingly important to regulators and to those that have a stake in the organization’s performance.
Tailored Technologies has developed a technology assessment service that helps smaller companies and non-profit organizations to create internal IT controls and to apply them consistently.
These controls prevent unauthorized access and thwart unwanted events that could compromise the integrity of transaction processing and the resulting data. They also ensure proper management and functioning of the IT environment, which is critical to supporting the speed and integrity of the financial reporting process.
In addition to ensuring that you have sound data to support better decision-making and stakeholder relationships, our technology assessment services can help you to:
• Comply with standard auditing directives • Discover inefficiencies in the IT department and the departments it serves • Reduce annual IT costs via increased efficiency in processing and management
