Martin Marietta Aggregates is a producer of crushed stone, sand, and gravel. With a sizable data to cover, the audit department needed an efficient way to analyze complete data populations without relying on ad hoc sampling methods. For compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, it’s critical for internal auditors to test complete data files for control issues and noteworthy exceptions. The Martin Marietta audit team chose ACL technology for its unmatched ability to interrogate large data populations with speed and efficiency. Using ACL data analytics, auditors can conduct their quarterly reviews of all transactions, independently check the effectiveness of application-level controls within the ERP system that would otherwise be impossible to detect.
