RuleSafe® Selected by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

The national professional membership and body for CPAs, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, has adopted the RuleSafe® policy awareness system developed by London-based company Secoda Risk Management.

Organizations are enabled by Secoda's policy and compliance solution RuleSafe® to rapidly create and deploy a framework for communicating internal policies, standards and procedures to employees and then verify that those individuals have read, understood and accepted their compliance responsibilities under those policies.

Including; North Carolina (Durham), New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C, Texas (Lewisville), the AICPA has 650 employees working across five main US locations.

A comprehensive quiz function is added by RuleSafe's latest version, that allows risk managers and policy stakeholders to create and deploy multiple-choice online questionnaires in minutes, and then track employees' and the overall organizations' levels of understanding of the published policies.

"Our decision to choose RuleSafe® was influenced by the detailed training and support we received in both the pre and post-sales stages of our policy awareness program; together with the flexibility of the product that we can adapt to fit our corporate culture as the organization grows and develops", commented Director of IT Operations, Ranabir Dey.

Secoda's Managing Director, Adrian Wright commented: "We are delighted to welcome such a respected institution as the AICPA to our growing customer base". "The AICPA's decision to use RuleSafe® to help manage their in-house awareness and compliance clearly demonstrates the global relevance of the RuleSafe® architecture and technology to overcoming the common problems and growing complexity we all face today."

Recent global rises in workplace errors resulting in widespread breaches of personal information and fines are almost entirely due to lack of user training and awareness, or a failure to ensure that employees understand and accept their individual responsibilities for managing the organizations' risks, according to Secoda. RuleSafe®, by making specific policies and procedures relevant to specific roles and situations, reduces and simplifies the awareness process for each employee, and uses the latest technologies to bring people and processes together to manage compliance and risk.
