Today, information management and reporting is increasingly complex and greater reliance is placed on the accuracy and reliability of data, metadata, and information produced by the supporting systems and processes.

Driven in part by Sarbanes-Oxley awareness, increased emphasis on business processes, internal controls and technology infrastructure requires independent assurance of their effectiveness and their impact on economy and efficiency.

Critical attention to the design, documenting and operation of processes, systems and controls ensures the accuracy and timeliness of information used for financial reporting and management decision-making.
