Case Study: First Hawaiian Bank achieves full-data audits and automated monitoring with ACL Analytics Exchange

First Hawaiian Bank Achieves Targeted Analysis with ACL Analytics Exchange

First Hawaiian Bank, the oldest and largest financial institution in Hawaii with 58 branches, faced inefficient, manual audit processes that relied on sampling and spreadsheets. Its 20-person internal audit team struggled with data access from outsourced systems, multiple platforms, and the need for a secure place to store tests and maintain a reliable audit trail.

The bank implemented ACL Analytics Exchange with consulting and training to automate data extraction, run full-population tests, and manage approved scripts in a permission-based, secure repository. As a result auditors can share and reuse tests without exposing confidential data, automate monitoring across business units, improve efficiency, and plan to run multiple full audits in the first year—tightening controls and reducing manual risk.
