Approva Corporation - Controls Intelligence Software

Approva’s Approach

Approva’s change management solution proactively monitors system and process configuration settings for all of your ERP systems. Baselining capabilities enable you to take a snapshot of your system when it is configured properly. Exceptions to that baseline are then flagged so the appropriate managers can be automatically alerted.

Approva’s rich out-of-the box rule content focuses on key system controls and changes that create the greatest risk. Because testing is conducted on an ongoing basis, corrective action can be taken in hours instead of weeks or months after the fact.

Key Benefits

Reduced Compliance Costs

Automated controls replace laborious manual test efforts, saving hundreds of hours each audit cycle. Specialized, highly trained ERP professionals can be freed from testing and applied to other internal control activities.

Reduced Risk

Comprehensive internal controls provide a more rigorous change management process with fewer surprises. Reduced access to system settings results in fewer unauthorized or inappropriate changes. Comprehensive testing and monitoring enables many change management issues to be quickly and easily corrected.

Reduced Audit Preparation Time

Detailed reports provide meticulous record of the change management process. These reports ensure that changes in system settings, or variances from industry best practices are clearly documented for each internal and external audit.

Less System Downtime

More rigorous internal controls result in fewer mistakes with system patches and transports, and less system downtime.
