VANCOUVER, CANADA – November 29, 2007 - ACL Services Ltd., a leading global provider of audit analytics technology, is pleased to have joined the Open Compliance & Ethics Group (OCEG) as a member of OCEG’s Technology Council.
OCEG helps organizations align their governance, compliance and risk management activities to drive business performance and promote integrity. The OCEG Technology Council was formed to address strategic, operational and technical issues that professionals face when applying IT to governance, risk, compliance (GRC) and ethics management. ACL will contribute its domain expertise, working alongside organizations such as ACL implementation partner Deloitte and ACL technology partner SAP.
“We are pleased to invite ACL Services, a leader in audit solutions for over 20 years, to join OCEG’s Technology Council. ACL’s experience in leveraging audit technology to facilitate effective GRC strategies will provide a valuable perspective,” said Lane Leskela, Vice President, Technology Programs, OCEG. The Technology Council focuses on key issues facing GRC and IT professionals and shares the findings and progress of the program working groups.
The Technology Council develops and evolves strategic and technical resources to help IT and Business professionals improve the practice of GRC within their organizations.
Harald Will, President & CEO, ACL Services Ltd. said “OCEG and the Technology Council are charting the way for a streamlined approach to managing GRC strategy throughout the enterprise. Organizations face an ever-increasing volume of data that needs to be scrutinized to ensure comprehensive audit coverage. With greater demands on audit resources, organizations need a cost-effective way to leverage their existing audit technology investment in support of increasing GRC requirements. We look forward to participating with OCEG to develop working standards that can be used across industries to promote audit best practices.”
ACL will contribute on various projects that intersect with audit, including the Technology Council’s XML Project, focusing on modeling, mapping and testing the entities in a GRC backbone that are exchanged between IT systems in an open XML/UML schema. In addition, ACL will also contribute to benchmarking and best practices development for audit technology application.
