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.
