Case Study: CLP Group (CLP Holdings Limited) achieves 60% increased audit efficiency with ACL Direct Link for SAP

Clp Holdings Limited Streamlined Data Extraction With Acl Direct Link For Sap

CLP Holdings Limited is a Hong Kong–based investor-owned power company with roughly HK$38B in annual revenue and 6,000 employees. Its internal audit team needed fast, flexible access to large volumes of data across enterprise systems—especially SAP ERP—but SAP downloads were slow and manual: auditors could only pull one table at a time, could not save field selections or queries, and spent excessive time repeating routine extraction tasks.

The audit department implemented ACL data analysis and Direct Link for SAP ERP to join tables, save and reuse queries, and automate repetitive downloads. As a result, auditors can extract complex datasets faster, apply repeatable analytics to pinpoint anomalies, and focus on higher‑value work—boosting audit efficiency by about 60% while improving productivity and exception detection.
