Business Benefits
Increase business assurance
With so many disparate data sources in the enterprise, being able to capture relevant transactional data for a complete view of the business is no trivial task. Galvanize Analytics provides connectivity to a broad range of data sources. From transactional databases, spreadsheets, flat files, business applications (including SAP ERP and SAP CRM) and more, Galvanize Analytics’ depth and breadth of connectivity helps ensure complete data coverage for increased business assurance regardless of the disparateness and variety of information sources. The business can also be reassured of the integrity and validity of results as a detailed audit trail of all analysis activities is always being recorded
Raise executive visibility
Analysis results don’t resonate with upper management unless they’re presented in an executive context. Effectively get the attention of an executive audience by conveying the significance of analysis results through compelling, yet easy to create, data visualisations that provide additional business context, not just transactional data results.
Save time and effort with automation
Eliminate manual effort and quickly help achieve significant cost savings by automating data import, export and analysis tasks.
Using the industry standard Galvanize designed by the company founder, scripts can easily and quickly be created to automate repetitive manual tasks. For example, instead of taking 1-4 days to manually reconcile multiple spreadsheets, Galvanize Analytics can import, combine and test the data using a script that only takes seconds to execute.
Improve corporate culture for increased collaboration
A siloed corporate culture limits the ability to leverage the collective expertise of the organisation. Spreadsheets, documents and e-mail are also not a viable or scalable means of easily sharing thoughts and keeping track of feedback. Break down communication barriers and help nurture a more synergistic culture by easily showcasing analysis results and encouraging collaboration across cross-functional teams with Galvanize for secure cloud-based sharing.

Audit Ready Solutions for Dynamics ERP: Navision & Axapta
Audit Analytics is used for performing internal controls and identifying transaction errors and exceptions. Such reviews often take place long after the transactions have been done which seriously limits the ability of Management to take timely and corrective action.
The value of audit analytics is maximized when the results of Continuous Monitoring transactions and controls are being provided directly to the business process owners for response. This allows for corrective action to be taken on a timely basis, directly improving the bottom line and business performance and reducing associated risks trough rapid response to fraud, errors and inefficiencies as well as strengthening financial and operational controls.
Whether your business challenges lie in the areas of fraud detection, controls monitoring, or auditing for compliance – or within the specific regulatory and operating environments unique to Government, Banking & Finance or Healthcare – Trident can incorporate standard controls testing analytics into customized solutions uniquely suited to your organization’s needs through the Galvanize solution and our consulting offering within audit analytics.
The Audit Analytics are a series of Audit related dashboards that are ready to deploy showing this knowledge to the business. This can be deployed via a browser or mobile device. The solution is powered by Galvanize, the leading data analytical engine, and Power BI Dashboards, the top data visualisation dashboard.

Get oversight of your standard financial process controls with pre-built analysis apps spanning the following business process areas.
Purchase-to-Pay Cycle Apps
| Accounts Payables | Sampling or manually cross-matching purchases orders (POs) with invoices simply doesn’t provide adequate risk oversight over this material process. Assess 100% of your payables dataset to know with certainty whether your requisitions and vendor billing processes are healthy and accurate. | Sample Analytics
|
| Purchase Order Management | Track purchasing patterns and trends to monitor the adherence of company policies, keep expenses low, and illuminate problematic sub-processes. | Sample Analytics
|
| Vendor Management | Ensure that your vendors are approved and have been vetted for compliance against your organization’s vendor management take-on / registration process. | Sample Analytics
|
| Cash Disbursements | The outflow of money in various payment formats to your vendors can often get overlooked, resulting in a popular way for unscrupulous employees to cash in. Ensure your cash disbursement controls are working properly, and identify waste, misappropriation of funds or human error. | Sample Analytics
|
| Stock & Inventory Management | Alleviate inventory management risks by testing for theft, loss, leakage, churn and lifecycle. Transactional data may reveal vendors with persistent quality issues, or locations with stale inventory or excessive leakage or returns. | Sample Analytics
|
| Travel & Entertainment Expenses | Comprehensive data aggregation and reporting enables continuous improvement across all T&E activities. Eliminate the headache of multiple review and remediation systems and consolidate with one comprehensive system that makes your team work smarter and helps you get a handle on T&E waste and abuse. | Sample Analytics
|
| Segregation of Duties | Improper Segregation of Duties (SoD) is a leading cause of fraud and SoD is a key component of Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliance. Identify potentially costly SoD issues across both Purchase-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash processes. | Sample Analytics
|
Order-to-Cash Cycle Apps
| Accounts Receivable | How quickly receivables are paid directly affects your cash flow, and properly balanced cash flow is essential for stability. The faster you can identify and collect outstanding receivables, the faster the cash can be spent to meet payroll and other expenses, pursue expansion and investment goals, or enhance company profits. | Sample Analytics
|
| Sales Analysis | Detailed sales analysis is important as it provides management with accurate information on actual sales to improve profit margins. Detailed analysis helps companies compile a sales strategy and know which products are or not selling, and at what margin. | Sample Analytics
|
| Stock & Inventory Management | Alleviate inventory management risks by testing for theft, loss, leakage, churn and lifecycle. Transactional data may reveal vendors with persistent quality issues, or locations with stale inventory or excessive leakage or returns. | Sample Analytics
|
| Segregation of Duties | Improper Segregation of Duties (SoD) is a leading cause of fraud and SoD is a key component of Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliance. Identify potentially costly SoD issues across both Purchase-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash processes. | Sample Analytics
|
General Journal & Fixed Assets Cycle Apps
| Fixed Assets Management | Monitor your asset management cycles—from addition to depreciation—to mitigate critical risks (such as not knowing what assets you have and where), ensure your depreciation is accurate, and manage the transfer and disposal of PPE. | Sample Analytics
|
| General Journal | Journal entries are the backbone of any organization’s accounting system and hold financial and non-financial data. Knowing how each journal entry is being posted to the general ledger is critical for insight into the heart of your financial system. | Sample Analytics
|
Human Resources Management Apps
| Human Resources | There is significant risk around the management of your workforce—monitor your master employee file to mitigate those risks. | Sample Analytics
|
| Salaries & Payroll | The cost of salaries for employees accounts for a significant portion of operating expenses in any organization. Knowing that those employees listed on their payroll are valid and are being paid the right amount is critical to keeping operating costs in check. | Sample Analytics
|
