ACL Risk extends a risk assessment capability for audit or compliance teams to determine which areas of
their organization are most at risk in order to focus their audit resources for a given period or year. To do
this, ACL Risk enables customers to model their organizational entities with relevant processes, categories,
projects or strategic elements – and use a quantitative measurement to score and map risks to their model.
A map of this model is provided that will illustrate clusters of risks and help identify the areas customers will
want to focus their resources. From this, the customer will create projects in ACL Risk and release them
into ACL Workpapers where they will be executed and managed.
In short, ACL Risk is used to determine which projects to undertake for audit and compliance based on
organizational risk.

- Executives will have Read-Only permissions (Add comments and Files)
 Roadmap and Vision
