Partners receive extensive training and have proven experience using IDEA. They can also provide guidance on using IDEA to its fullest extent, including achieving audit objectives, indentifying fraud, assessing risk, meeting compliance and documentation standards, and reporting.

Compiling data from various internal and external sources as needed
Examining and identifying unusual transactions
Automatically reporting exceptions to the appropriate individual

CaseWare Monitor was developed to address common barriers to adopting continuous monitoring such as ease of use, cost effectiveness and scalability. Our solution can be applied to business processes anywhere in the organization, regardless of the underlying system or platform.
Our Integration Partners offer implementation and customization services to help apply CaseWare Monitor's continuous auditing and monitoring capabilities to specific business processes in your organization. CaseWare Monitor customers can work closely with our integration partners to establish an appropriate scope for continuous controls monitoring and set a program for risk assessment, controls testing, and required monitoring. By applying their extensive product training and technical expertise, our partners can develop customized tests using IDEAScripts designed to significantly reduce compliance costs, detect fraud, improve operations and strengthen internal controls.
