Certify Application Auditor

Continuing Reviews of Application Auditor Audit Trails
Internal auditors review audit trails of transactions and database operations in a few minutes, every day, to certify that they are normal and authorized. They can also correct situations that are not.
Process Efficiency

CAA can eliminate manual administrative work usually required to sort and distribute audit trail materials to reviewers, collect the decisions, and assemble the certification reports. CAA keeps it all online. External auditors can examine the documentation in the system and generate their own reports.

You get process efficiency, audit accuracy, and continuous visibility.

The entire process occurs within CAA using Application Auditor's audit trails of DML transactions and DDL operations. Audit progress and results are available online for participants and stakeholders to view at any time.

Auditor Independence

CAA allows internal auditors to be independent of IT staff and DBAs when reviewing the audit trails produced by Application Auditor.

There is no need for IT to extract information from EBS for auditors and approvers to review.  Or to collect the approvers’ decisions.  Or to summarize reports.

CAA provides streamlined access to audit trails for the auditors.
