In this constant state of flux, audit committees are focusing to leverage the internal audit functions to mitigate a wide array of risks associated with liquidity, cash management, and market volatility. Based out of Chennai, NCS Soft Solutions (P) Limited has been a forerunner in the Indian banking industry for digital automation of audit processes.

Making Ends Meet in Audit Automation
The pressure to maintain performance and meet expectations during an economic downturn has necessitated a corresponding increase in the knowledge, skills, and expertise of internal audit professionals. NCS’ eTHIC is a digital and Risk Based Audit management solution that assists banks and other financial institutions to fully automate end to end audit process–right from audit planning, scheduling, audit, follow up and compliance. By using a con¬figuration management module of eTHIC, the audit department can set up their check list and risk parameters. The application’ risk based audit functionality helps financial institutions in better risk management and compliance. The solution is comprehensive in capturing the audit policy, including risk parameters approved by a bank’s board, and also provides various regular alerts and reports on income leakage and possible fraud cases.
Moreover, eTHIC features dashboards which are primarily parameter driven giving a 360 degree view of banks’ workflow. The solution seamlessly integrates with core banking solutions (CBS), HRMS software and other applications, eliminating the paper work and hence reducing stationery, printing and storage space costs. “eTHIC helps in saving almost 40 to 50 percent time in the entire audit process by bringing down the cost of travel and lodging involved in onsite audit of branches dramatically”, says Shanmugavel P, Director, NCS Soft Solutions.
