A full-service firm specializing in commercial accounting, BMC has successfully shed some of the accounting and auditing stereotypes by taking on a can-do attitude and going paperless - yes, paperless.

It's a fair request, considering the scope, complexity and infinite number of ways continuous monitoring can be applied to help prevent fraud and improve internal controls. This article provides some specific examples from the banking and utility industry where continuous monitoring was used to help address areas critical to these businesses - compliance and billing accuracy.

Click here to watch the SmartExporter Webcast
SmartExporter is quickly being recognized as the go-to tool to simplify the extraction of SAP data for review and analysis. It resolves many of the many common issues associated with transferring SAP data outside the software's environment, such as security, data capacity and timing of data downloads. SmartExporter significantly reduces or eliminates the need for IT involvement to obtain data sets from SAP, which saves time and effort. Data requests are generated in a Window's-based desktop by selecting criteria from a standardized or customized directory of more than 79,000 SAP tables. Configured data requests can be saved for repeat use. SmartExporter is also very affordable.
