Case Study: Promens achieves 30–40% audit efficiency gains and Board-level recognition with ACL GRC (ACL)

ACL GRC Enables 30-40% Efficiency Gains and Raises Perception of Internal Audit with Management

Promens, a global plastics manufacturer with 41 facilities in 20 countries and over 3,800 employees, faced a growing internal audit burden after establishing a small audit function in 2012. The team — one full-time director supported by 15 part-time finance managers — found manual processes cumbersome, error-prone and hard to oversee, with too many documents, repetitive data entry and limited visibility into audit progress.

Promens implemented the cloud-based ACL GRC solution, running a pilot within 10 days and quickly rolling it out across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, payroll, travel & expense and other areas. The user-friendly, mobile-enabled platform increased testing and collaboration, improved document visibility and task assignment, delivered estimated efficiency gains of 30–40% and paid back the investment within months, while raising Internal Audit’s profile at Board level.
