Control Testing Monitoring Tool
This automation transforms manual control-testing evidence reviews into a fully streamlined, data-driven process. Using Microsoft Power Automate and AI Builder, control testing documents are parsed, validated, and fed directly into a monitoring dashboard—eliminating manual Excel updates and ensuring near-real-time visibility.
