"As a software provider focused on audit, compliance, and risk management, we recognize that these groups have historically been underserved when it comes to technology," said Ross Paul, Vice President of Go To Market & IT at ACL. "Our objective has been to serve as a catalyst for industry change by developing cutting-edge technology for these professionals to support their entire workflow and ultimately transform the way they approach their work."

ACL continues its aggressive push into the audit management, risk, and compliance arena with new product launches to be announced at its annual global user conference, ACL Connections, taking place June 1-4 in Dallas, Texas.

"The audit, risk management, and compliance market may be crowded, but ACL just brought a bulldozer to the party," said Sean Zuberbier, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at ACL. "The world's biggest companies and national governments already rely on us to illuminate risk and save billions of dollars each year. Now they're learning about our new cloud-based GRC platform and they love what they see. We are fundamentally disrupting the market and having fun doing so. It is our mission."
