The benefits of our accounting control procedures module
Initiate the inventory of controls and their implementation
Controls are associated with each of the risks in your corruption risk map and qualified, taking into account their specific needs (existing control, to be implemented or not applicable, frequency, etc.).
All controls identified at central level will be distributed to all entities (BUs, subsidiaries, etc.) according to the actions and third parties concerned, so that they can adjust the qualification of these controls and define any associated actions.
Each iteration of a control is rigorously tracked (status, author of the control (or automatic), due date, date of completion, and filing of proofs of control, etc.), an essential point in guaranteeing your organization’s compliance with the Sapin 2 anti-corruption law.
Manage your system with dynamic, real-time reporting
Ensure regular communication with all stakeholders through indicators and reporting covering the various stages of your system, enabling you to assess and manage the various activities involved in documenting the level 1 and 2 controls associated with your organization’s corruption risk mapping.
Manage your action plans
Actions are created from a control or directly from the action plan module.
A planning view and dynamic dashboards optimize tracking of action progress and impact
