## Key challenges
The client was facing the following problems. There was a need:
- To provide a common view of GRC data consistently across different departments
- For a single library of processes, risks, and controls
- To provide a holistic view of GRC data
- For advanced, configurable workflow capabilities and an audit trail that tracks details of activities
- For a comprehensive internal audit functionality across other GRC disciplines
## Approach
The client’s legacy GRC platform lacked internal audit capabilities. Considering this, we decided to first build an internal audit solution which could work with the existing GRC platform and which could be easily integrated with next-generation integrated GRC platforms based on the new solution architecture.
The Internal Audit product was built with the objective of helping companies in the management of a wide range of audit-related activities, data and processes and end-to-end management of the complete audit lifecycle.
## Solution
The following key business drivers were considered while coming up with the Internal Audit architecture model:
- Time to market needs of Internal Audit product
- Ability to integrate with legacy Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and ability to integrate with next-generation integrated GRC platform
- Need to support the fast and responsive user interface with a desktop-like feel for application access
- Need to support application access in offline scenarios
- Need to support multiple service interfaces for integration with existing products
The Internal audit architecture uses heterogeneous styles with a major focus on data abstraction and object-oriented organization of entities in the system. In the internal audit architecture:
- Data and their associated operations are encapsulated into an abstract data type (object)
- Objects and connectors operate through methods
- Objects are responsible for maintaining the integrity of a resource and the representation of the object is hidden from other objects
A layered system style is used for the organizing system hierarchically with each layer providing service to the layer above it and serving as a client to the layer below. Layers are abstracted from each other so as to minimize the impact of modifications in one layer on another layer. Connectors are defined by the protocols that determine how layers will interact.
The Internal Audit has distributed system architecture with a client-server model where the server provides services to the clients. The clients know the identity of the server and access it through a remote procedure call.
## End result
e-Zest was able to provide the client with an integrated GRC solution with the internal audit product. The product that:
- Was built on next-generation technology and was flexible and user-friendly
- Provided a simple and comprehensive way to manage a wide range of audit-related activities, data, and processes
- Was compliant with internal audit standards
This greatly helped improve efficiency and save time and effort. The e-Zest team demonstrated strength in building enterprise product platform using Rich Internet Applications (RIA) technologies such as GWT. While finalizing the product roadmap we demonstrated domain expertise in Governance, Risk and Compliance management domain. Enterprise Audit planning and scheduling features provided in the product proved very competitive in the market and product was responsible for global recognition and many industry awards.
