ACL is the preferred software tool of audit and financial professionals for data extraction, data analysis, fraud detection, and continuous monitoring. Robust yet easy-to-use, ACL expands the depth and breadth of your analysis, increases your personal productivity and gives you confidence in your findings. With ACL, organizations can achieve fast payback, reduce risk, assure compliance, minimize loss and enhance profitability.

Providing a unique and powerful combination of data access, analysis and integrated reporting, ACL reads and compares enterprise data-"any data, flat or relational databases, spreadsheets, report files, on PCs or servers -"allowing the source data to remain intact for complete data quality and  integrity. Used as a standalone PC application and/or as the client with the Server Edition software, ACL employs a single, consistent client interface and provides easy, immediate access to data. For example, with a few clicks, you can move from analyzing server data, to information stored on mainframes, to my SAP for ERP data, or networked PCs. This ensures optimized performance and optimum flexibility in accessing new sources of data.
Commands -"a full range of analytical power from simple classifications to complex tests -"are already pre-programmed for data analysis. Automate your analysis through continuous monitoring and real-time notification.

With ACL you can:

• Analyze data more quickly and efficiently, independently from your IT department, with an intuitive user interface, pull down menus, toolbars, and point & click commands
