Internal Audit

What is Continuous Controls Monitoring?

Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) is a technology-driven process that automatically and continuously tests and monitors internal controls, letting auditors assess their operational efficiency. Instead of relying on periodic manual reviews or audits (e.g., quarterly or annually), CCM provides real-time or near-real-time insights into the performance of controls across business processes.

How can internal auditors benefit from Continuous Controls Monitoring?

Continuous controls monitoring involves automating and continuously tracking compliance, risk, and fraud controls in real-time.

  • Automation: Monitors data and control activities within enterprise systems like SAP, Oracle, etc.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Identifies control failures or anomalies as they occur—e.g., segregation of duties violations, changes to master data, or transactions outside policy limits.
  • Risk Mitigation: Helps detect issues early, reducing the likelihood of fraud, errors, or compliance failures.
  • Efficiency: Reduces manual testing efforts and improves audit coverage.
  • Compliance: Supports SOX controls, internal audit, and other regulatory requirements by providing an audit trail and control evidence.


By incorporating continuous controls monitoring, konaAI provides a comprehensive anti-fraud solution.
