Rowbotham, a firm of external auditors affiliated with fellow BI International partner Polaris International, has selected the Aline Business Intelligence International (BII), developer of on-demand Aline(TM) Governance, Risk and Compliance plus Performance (GRC+P) platform, to assist clients with SOX compliance and internal audit.
Aline4SOX is a user-friendly Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 404 and 302, allowing companies to automate and streamline the SOX process while reducing their total cost of compliance. The product enables users to document and assess the design of controls, track the testing of their effectiveness and easily locate and remedy any deficiencies.
"The Aline software package is made up of an affordable set of easy-to- learn and easy-to-use tools that facilitate Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for companies and accountants," Mark Kelly, audit partner at Rowbotham, said. "Aline not only offers our clients full and comprehensive compliance, but provides efficiency and simplicity like no other compliance tool."
"We look forward to working with the Rowbotham and providing them with the Aline platform," said Bob Goldstein, BI International Channel Sales Manager. "Our products will add value to their client engagements addressing SOX Compliance, Audit, IT Governance, ERM and Business Process Improvement initiatives."
Aline4SOX provides companies with a single repository of all SOX data, dynamic update of standard deliverables, as well as integrated on-line project management reporting and powerful analytics.
The Aline4IA module for Internal Audit is tightly integrated with the Aline4SOX module and will provide BII's clients with the ability to develop their overall audit plan. Combining the effort of SOX and non-SOX audits gives companies a single Audit Universe where activities required for the SOX program and other audits share a common framework. This provides an improved coordination of priorities and resources while combining all findings into a single data repository.
Aline4SOX, which was included earlier this year as a niche player in Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant Research Study for Finance Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRCM) Software, is the only on-demand solution proven to reduce the cost and time of SOX compliance by up to 50 percent and transform compliance into sustainable business improvement.
