Innovation in audit automation continues to grow with the increased demand for an end-to-end approach to enterprise security and compliance. However with all the existing automation solutions available in the market, it is imperative to formulate a controls intelligence strategy that delivers the best return on your compliance investments. The Approva session at IIA International 2008 will demonstrate real world examples from a Fortune 500 company that has taken continuous controls monitoring to new levels in audit automation.
