As critical as auditing is to business, auditors often rely on time-consuming and inefficient manual processes. Most auditors require voluminous data in order to answer a few simple questions, and the only way to get that data has been to go through IT. Even then, there is no centralization of the audit data, and information is difficult to gather because it comes from multiple data sources and in inconsistent formats. Compliance can also be compromised because reports may need to be provided by personnel who are subjects of the audit.
Legislation has been passed requiring more focus on controlling who is accessing corporate data assets. Key to addressing this is being able to answer the five basic audit questions about data access – who, what, when, where and how. IBM IMS™ Audit Management Expert gives auditors the insight necessary to answer those five questions. Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how IMS Audit Management Expert pulls together disparate data sources from different systems into a central repository. You’ll also see how it helps you prevent data tampering by segregating duties, without reliance on the technical personnel that auditors need to monitor.
In this session, we’ll discuss how the IMS solution:
- Automates the data correlation from the disparate data sources into useful representations of audit data
- Reduces manual efforts and the duration of an audit, thereby reducing costs
- Centralizes audit data from into a correlated, coherent view
- Lets auditors perform tasks without requiring assistance from a database administrator or an IMS systems programmer
Speakers: Margaret Wilson, IMS Tools Market Manager, IBM Software Group and Thomas J. Hubbard, Product Specialist Manager, Rocket Software
