ACL ANALYTICS Tell Your Story. Connect to any data, analyze any risk, and visualize your results.

Strategic risks look like icebergs in annual reports, but the reality is that they manifest as tiny needles in the haystack of your organization’s transactional data.

ACL™ Analytics connects you to any data source, and let’s you run sophisticated risk analytics and detect anomalies or patterns that you simply can’t illuminate with any amount of random sampling, spreadsheet ninjutsu or generic business intelligence. It’s designed for you, the GRC professional.

Regardless of your department or assurance role, ACL technology enables you to tackle the areas where data analysis will make a material difference to your organization:

RISK ANALYTICSSuspicious? Test your hunch fast. You’re the expert. ACL Analytics is designed to perform risk analytics against finance, IT and business operations data. If you’re suspicious, interrogate your data and get answers fast.

CONNECT TO ANY DATA SOURCEIf you have data, you can analyze it. Access and consolidate data from all of your sources—even that 22-year-old system only Judy knows how to use. A billion records from your ERP system? Spreadsheets? Unstructured report PDFs? No problem. No other tool can access any data as economically as ACL Analytics.

FLAG MORE ACCURATE MATCHESSometimes the greatest breakthroughs start out…fuzzy. With advanced fuzzy matching tools, find more duplicates or join tables even when the data is not exactly the same, common vendor fuzzy billing errors can cost seven figures.

DATA VISUALIZATIONVisually detect patterns and share. Explore and build a better understanding of your data by creating interactive visualizations that can be shared with stakeholders to tell your story.

INDEPENDENT. PROVABLE. REPEATABLE.Litigation? Don’t get caught without your activity log. Your entire data set is protected in read-only format. Every analytic step is recorded to provide assurance and repeatability.

INVESTIGATIONS – REPUTATIONAL INTEGRITYBig data analytics for forensics, accounting and investigations. You can never go wrong with best. ACL Analytics is the industry standard for interactive data analysis against the entire dataset population.

The data visualization is fantastic. Information is about communication. You can do

the best analysis in the world, but if you’re handing over tables and tables of data, no

one can consume it and take action. When you put it in a picture, you’re telling senior

management a story about how the data has an impact on the business.
