Continuous Auditing and Continuous Monitoring:
Transforming Internal Audit and Management
Monitoring to Create Value
As global organizations aim to address the rapidly evolving and often complex risk
environment and meet ever-changing regulatory, business, and industry requirements, leaders
are searching for innovative ways to efficiently meet corporate objectives. Many have begun
to advance their efforts by implementing continuous auditing (CA) and continuous monitoring
(CM) disciplines around their organizational processes, transactions, systems, and controls.
Leveraging proactive, technology-based applications to manage performance and key areas
of risk and control has become a practical and necessary alternative to meet the growing
needs of the organization. Together, CA and CM offer a broad range of benefits that can help
organizations add value and improve business performance. CA/CM can deliver regular
insight into the status of controls and transactions across the global enterprise, enhancing
risk and control oversight capability through monitoring and detection.
