Case Study: Liberty Group achieves rapid, reliable data access and enhanced controls compliance with ACL Analytics

Rapid, Reliable Data Access For Enhanced Performance

The Liberty Group, one of South Africa’s largest financial services and life assurance firms managing roughly R80 billion in assets, faced slow, IT-dependent audit processes for millions of records across diverse platforms (UNIX, Windows, mainframe). Auditors were constrained by batch-window export limits, manual data cleansing, and two-week waits for new queries, which hindered timely compliance testing and fraud detection.

By deploying ACL Analytics, Liberty auditors now extract, standardize and test large data sets themselves—creating new queries in less than a day—and run repeatable, full exception-based analyses instead of sampling. The change boosted productivity, improved monitoring and controls compliance, enhanced fraud prevention, and delivered faster, more accurate audits across multiple systems.
