Fraud Prevention & Detection for Mission Critical Spreadsheets

Prodiance

This white paper looks at the risk of errors and fraud in mission critical spreadsheets, Access databases, and other end-user computing (EUC) applications. Leading tax and audit firms recommend that organizations automate the spreadsheet controls environment to help prevent and detect spreadsheet fraud, while establishing sustainable governance. Both preventative and detective controls are recommended, along with a lifecycle approach to managing spreadsheets. Organizations can certainly implement this lifecycle process via manual efforts, but this requires employees to take on additional tasks and often breaks down over time. By leveraging technology, organizations can automate many aspects of spreadsheet management and control, from discovery and inventory, to risk assessment, remediation, management and control, and automation and monitoring.
