In today’s fast-paced business world, ensuring the integrity of internal controls is crucial for companies to remain compliant, avoid costly errors, and prevent fraud. However, as organizations grow, managing internal controls manually becomes increasingly complex and inefficient. This is where remQ steps in—offering intelligent business transaction monitoring and auditing software to seamlessly digitize your Internal Control System (ICS) and integrate it directly within your SAP ERP environment.

It’s important to note that companies globally lose up to 5% of their annual revenue due to fraud, accounting errors, and inefficiencies—this equates to over USD 3.7 trillion lost every year. With remQ, these risks are reduced significantly, as the software automates and strengthens internal controls, providing you with the tools to detect fraudulent or erroneous transactions in real-time.

The Importance of Internal Controls and Automation

Internal controls are essential to safeguard assets, ensure accuracy in financial reporting, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. In fact, organizations are legally required to have an internal control system (ICS) in place to meet regulatory standards like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in the U.S., the UK Corporate Governance Code, and others globally (e.g., the EU Audit Directive and Germany’s KonTraG). Traditional methods of internal control are not enough in today’s business environment. remQ offers an advanced solution that allows businesses to automate these controls, ensuring compliance, financial accuracy, and fraud prevention while also saving on the costs associated with external audits. Research shows that companies automating their internal controls can cut external audit costs by 25%. Beyond financial savings, remQ enables a streamlined audit process and more reliable business operations.
