Regulatory & Corporate Compliance

Policy Program Management

Archer Policy Program Management provides the framework to help organizations establish a scalable and flexible environment to manage corporate and regulatory policies and ensure alignment with compliance obligations. This includes documentation of policies and standards, assigning ownership, and mapping policies to key business areas and objectives. Organizations can effectively manage the entire policy development lifecycle process and gain the agility and flexibility to handle policy exceptions amidst an increasing volume of changes in a complex regulatory compliance landscape.

Corporate Obligations Management

Archer Corporate Obligations Management provides the necessary tools and capabilities to document external regulatory obligations. It enables you to establish a systematic review and approval process for tracking changes to those obligations, understanding the business impact, and prioritizing a response. You can quickly and accurately deliver guidance to senior management and the IT organization regarding regulatory and other compliance requirements the business must manage in conjunction with business operations.

By improving the linkage between organizational compliance requirements and internal controls, compliance gaps are reduced and senior management gains better insight into issues impacting the business. Implementation of Corporate Obligations Management provides an agile policy framework to keep pace with changing business and IT compliance risk.

Controls Assurance Program Management

Archer Controls Assurance Program Management offers a framework and taxonomy to systematically document the control universe, and assess and report on the performance of controls at the business hierarchy and business process level. You can apply clear, accurate control guidance in support of any compliance objective.

By improving the linkage between compliance requirements and internal controls, the business is able to better communicate and report on compliance obligations using a common taxonomy and language across the organization. With Archer® Suite’s agile and flexible compliance framework, compliance teams are able to proactively manage regulatory change across the business.

Financial Controls Monitoring

Financial Controls Monitoring builds upon the Controls Assurance Program Management use case. It includes applications, questionnaires, roles, and dashboards to assess and report on the performance of financial controls across all enterprise asset levels.

The Financial Controls Monitoring use case manages multiple financial compliance projects that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) or similar financial regulation requires, such as Provided By Client (PBC) lists, process narratives, and operating tests. By consolidating financial compliance projects into a single platform, business owners have better visibility into critical risk and compliance data. A single financial control universe allows your business to further align with extended corporate stewardship, responsibility goals, and other strategic objectives. Financial Controls Monitoring enables business owners to make fully informed risk-based business decisions in support of financial compliance.

Data Governance

The Archer Data Governance use case allows you to take an inventory of your information assets and capture metadata about them, specifically related to data privacy.
