Case Study: Grupo Bimbo achieves 100% payroll audit coverage and weekly audits with ACL Data Analysis

Grupo Bimbo’s Six Month Audits Are Now Conducted Weekly With Acl Solutions

Grupo Bimbo, a Mexico City–based food manufacturer with about 69,000 employees and operations in 17 countries, faced lengthy, sample-based payroll audits of some 32 million transactions that took up to six months and left the company exposed to overpayments, control gaps and fraud risk.

The Internal Audit team implemented ACL data analysis to run repeatable weekly analytics, achieving 100% transaction coverage and cutting audit cycles from months to roughly a week (with minutes to execute checks). The program recovered overpayments, reduced costly remote audits, delivered time and resource savings, strengthened controls, and has been rolled out to other finance processes.
