Introduction
In the domain of financial operations, the utmost importance is placed on efficiency and precision. Our client, a top-tier leader in the financial sector, enlisted our team of specialists to assist in creating and deploying an automated “Audit Process Management” tool. This tool is specifically designed to enhance and simplify expense compliance audit procedures for Policy, Corporate Card, and Expense Compliance (PCEC) teams. The objective is to eliminate manual processes and offer a unified platform for auditors and managers.”
Objective
- This project's central aim is the automation of manual processes carried out by current applications, bringing them together within a centralized platform.
- Our client specifically requires a suite of tools encompassing a landing page, role-specific dashboards, audit metrics, search capabilities, calendar integration, notification sections, audit list pages, and an admin section.
- These tools are designed to cater to the unique needs of auditors and managers, providing a unified interface with features tailored for each role.
- In essence, the objective is to streamline operations and enhance efficiency by consolidating diverse functionalities into a cohesive system that ensures a seamless experience for both auditors and managers.
Challenges and Pain Points
Library Management
Updating and consuming common libraries across multiple processes posed a significant challenge. Ensuring seamless integration and consistency required careful planning and execution.
One Build One Deployment Model
Implementing a Proof of Concept (POC) for a ‘One Build One Deployment’ model using the NX DEV Approach of MonoRepo presented technical hurdles and required meticulous configuration.
Quality Check of Audits
Conducting Quality Checks (QC) for a multitude of processes, involving re-auditing and linking to the original audit, presented a complex challenge in maintaining audit integrity and accuracy.
Overcoming Challenges
Library Management
Our team addressed library management challenges by implementing a robust version control mechanism. This ensured that common libraries were updated systematically, and processes consumed the latest functionalities seamlessly.
MonoRepo Implementation
Overcoming challenges in the ‘One Build One Deployment’ model was achieved by our team through a well-executed Proof of Concept (POC). Our team leveraged the NX DEV approach to streamline build and deployment processes which enhanced development efficiency.
Quality Check Automation
To address QC challenges, our team implemented an automated QC process thereby reducing manual effort. Our team made solution in a such a way that senior managers could perform re-auditing efficiently, linking back to the original audit with improved accuracy.
Output
The application’s core features are stable, with over 40 successfully released sub-modules. Our team accomplished the development of all planned sub-modules, incorporating enhancements within the project scope. Our data showcase a 30% reduction in manual audit efforts, a 20% increase in audit accuracy, and a 15% improvement in overall process efficiency.
