Case Study: CHC Helicopter achieves 15% productivity increase and 60% software cost savings with ACL GRC

Enhanced Workflow and Cloud-Based Project Management Boosts Productivity for Global Audit Team

CHC Helicopter, a Richmond-based global leader in helicopter operations and MRO with 4,300 employees in 30 countries, needed a more intuitive, flexible audit-management system for its 20-person internal audit team spread across five countries. Their legacy tool was cumbersome, unreliable and impeded productivity, so the team sought a cloud-accessible, low-overhead solution that supported multi-user, global workflows and mobile access.

CHC implemented ACL GRC — a quick, low-effort cloud deployment with minimal training and native iOS access — which centralized communication and automated reporting. Results included a 15% productivity gain (the SOX audit finished two months early), roughly 60% lower software costs and reduced IT burden, secure collaboration with external stakeholders, and reliable, mobile-enabled audit workflows.
