The SymSure Monitor is a sophisticated risk and controls monitoring solution that independently examines controls within business systems and alerts stakeholders of controls that have failed or are failing.
SymSure Monitor harnesses the power of audit scripting languages such as ACL. By creating a standard framework for interactive monitoring of risks and controls, SymSure Monitor efficiently transforms any group of reusable scripts into a full blown application system.
SymSure makes scripting simpler and more manageable, by building on skills already available in the audit profession. With SymSure Monitor, auditors can quickly and confidently monitor any control within any automated system.
SymSure Monitor Features
-
Customizable detection of control weaknesses.
-
Enterprise-wide exception and issues management.
-
Prompt notification system via e-mail or mobile devices.
-
Review process, featuring assigning to users for action including turnaround time.
-
Scheduling tests based on time and events.
-
Dynamic management of reports (user controlled addition, removal, modifications, etc.).
-
Advanced security architecture (logical security, audit trails, single sign-on).
- Ability to easily incorporate new tests or modify existing ones.
User friendly interfaces offer maximum flexibility and effectiveness. Users can customize all aspects of the monitor, from images and color schemes to how and when the monitor should run. Dynamic management of reports, from user controlled additions or modifications, is also made simple.
Using Scripts
While SymSure Monitor accepts results from any source or engine, most implementations today use ACL software to execute tests and then generate results. The application also includes an ever expanding set of functionality to interface and manage ACL projects.
The interface to ACL enhances the scripting functionality by allowing the user to manage the scripts. A wealth of scheduling and event management options are also provided. As an ACL Script Writer you will no longer have to worry about the protection of scripts, variables and sharing of projects.
Pre-built Modules
SymSure’s open design enables users to integrate any existing ACL application into the monitor. Pre-built Modules or applications can be implemented across various organisations.
Pre-built modules offer:
-
Standardised tests for specific business processes. Compliance requirements based on regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley demand consistency organisation-wide.
- Faster and more efficient implementations. Because the module has already been developed, the implementation is faster and easier – and the return on investment quicker.
- Higher quality modules. A group of financial institutions, for example, can share the cost of developing a SymSure module to monitor their loan portfolio, gaining access to robust, professional modules normally beyond their scope.
