ASG-ViewDirect ABS (Audit and Balancing System)
for Report Balancing and Reconciliation

ASG-ViewDirect ABS is a data-quality control tool that automates cross-platform, cross-application report balancing with full audit capabilities. It streamlines the reconciliation process, detecting potentially costly errors, increasing productivity and delivering accurate data and peace of mind.

ASG-ViewDirect ABS takes actions when an out-of-balance condition is detected. It locates the transaction or item that is in error and performs the appropriate action including sending an e-mail to the appropriate person, raising an exception to a production process, logging the anomaly, or initiating a workflow process. The ASG-ViewDirect ABS also provides a complete balancing audit trail that documents correct or incorrect conditions.

ASG-ViewDirect®-ABS - Spreadsheet Compliance reduces the risk of errors and restores confidence in your financial reporting by ensuring that spreadsheets are used correctly and managed responsibly. It centralizes and manages the lifecycle of spreadsheets throughout the enterprise, including versioning, access controls and audit trail. And it provides a solid platform to reduce costs, improve productivity and ease the burden of compliance.
