VISUAL Assurance,
or "VA", is one of the premier assessment tools available
for internal auditors, risk managers, CSA practitioners and compliance
managers needing a focused, efficient assessment solution.
VA
pulls together the results of the variety of tools, techniques and processes
your organization currently uses to control risk and ensure compliance.
VA is a unique database program that facilitates an efficient assessment
process and places before senior management a view of the entire enterprise
and its current level of either risk and exposure or compliance. Time
-sensitive action plans support identified exposure to loss, fines,
penalties and sanctions, with immediate drill-down capabilities to the
color-coded area of concern.

Using VA, corporate management can view the risk, examine the detail
behind critical issues, and manage them to a positive conclusion. VA
is designed to pull together, in a central data repository, all the
elements necessary to manage your organization's operational and compliance
risks and assess the effectiveness of internal controls. VA's ease of
use allows business units charged with performing assessments to stay
focused on the risks and controls instead of the assessment tool.
VA was cited in
the Managerial Auditing Journal as "setting the international standard
for monitoring corporate control and compliance." To see why, click
