Case Study: Fortegra Financial achieves 25-35% audit process efficiency gains with ACL GRC

Fortegra Financial Chooses ACL™ GRC as an Affordable, Cloudbased Solution to Manage Company-Wide Audit Workflow

Fortegra Financial Corporation, a U.S. insurance services firm that had recently become publicly traded, needed to build an internal audit function from scratch. The small team struggled with unmanaged shared drives, no documented policies or procedures, and needed an affordable, flexible solution to support SOX compliance, ERM, operational audits and collaboration with business units and external auditors.

Fortegra implemented ACL GRC, a cloud-based audit management SaaS, with no significant up-front cost and was operational within a week. Centralizing SOX, ERM and audit workflow improved communication and collaboration, automated administrative tasks, enabled secure external-auditor access, and delivered a 25–35% increase in audit process efficiency along with external audit time and cost savings.
