About business controls

Business controls are used to provide visual awareness of specific activities within a process that, if they fail or are not undertaken, will result in compliance failure and will be highlighted as non-conforming activities, usually with respect to corporate governance and compliance. This permits an organization to comply with legislations such as financial legislations, for example Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Base II, audit points. They can also be used for operational activities, for example schedules of authorizations to sign off on contracts, expense vouchers, etc., or they can be used for compliance, for example import/export trade agreements, health and safety, environmental.

Note: Business controls can only be created by administrators. Authorized users can attach business controls to activities, flow lines and free text boxes. Style sheets can be created and used to highlight data tables or statement links that breach a specific business control value.
