Case Study: ME Elecmetal achieves faster response times and automated SAP continuous auditing with Arbutus Software

ME Elecmetal Net Sales +US$ 800million Globa0l Supplier of Solutions for Mining Increases Productivity with Continuous Auditing and Monitoring

ME Elecmetal, a global supplier of wear solutions with net sales over US$800 million, faced growing demand for deeper, timelier audits that their small, manual audit team could not meet. They sought an automated continuous-audit solution to identify risky subprocesses in purchasing and payments, access the full universe of SAP and non‑SAP data, and apply advanced automated controls — and chose Arbutus Software, deploying Arbutus Analyzer with Smartlink+ for rapid SAP expertise and implementation.

Arbutus Software implemented Arbutus Analyzer and Smartlink+ to provide direct, authorized access to all SAP tables, automate data combination and advanced audit testing, and continuously monitor key controls. The deployment automated controls such as PO monitoring (time assignments >6 months), unauthorized invoices, PO splitting to circumvent approvals, duplicate payments, payments to blocked suppliers, unfulfilled supplier advances, payments without receipt, and active users for terminated employees — delivering faster response times, better team integration, deeper analysis and more timely remediation without adding headcount.
