PerformBI Corporate Governance provides robust and focused pre-built industry-specific analytics and business process workflow automation for Sarbanes-Oxley corporate governance related activities, including disclosure and financial controls and certifications.

The solution is available at a fixed cost and can be implemented in 4 weeks.

PerformBI Corporate Governance automatically:

• Manages Internal and Disclosure   Controls	• Collects Certification and Filing Data   for Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
• Detects Potential Frauds and   Performance Scenario Violations	• Notifies Users About Non-Compliant   Events and Workflow Violations
• Performs QA of Data & Transactions   Prior to Certification & Filing Under S-O	• Assigns Follow-Up Remedial Steps   to Appropriate Personnel
• Creates Personnel Accountability   by Monitoring Follow-ups and   Resolutions	• Tracks and Compiles Section 404   Controls "Effectiveness" Criteria   and Assesments

The platform gives CEOs, CFOs, and other required team members a command and control digital dashboard on their computer desktop (with access and alerts also via phone and wireless) for the prevention, detection and correction of potential securities fraud and other non-compliant events integrated with automated workflow management of the highly complex (and high risk) business processes associated with Sarbanes-Oxley corporate governance.

PerformBI Corporate Governance gives users immediate access to critical performance measurement analytics that examine and monitor key financial, operational and compliance conditions.

Alerts are generated to users through the industry-specific analytics feature because the system monitors (using threshold and pattern-recognition detection technology) corporate financial, compliance and event performance data for "out-of-condition" occurrences (including violations of pre-designed business questions).

Ad hoc reports can be created by the business user to explore "what-if" scenarios. A user can also drill down deeply into structured data to investigate alerts, or current and historic performance.

Business process workflow automation tools include communications (email), calendaring and scheduling, CEO and CFO Sarbanes-Oxley certifications and certification support, and codes of ethics and control document management.

The system automates the monitoring and management of the processes reflected in these documents by workflow monitoring and related process management (alerts and follow-ups), version control, access control and maintenance of an auditable trail of control and other process activities.

Sterling's Digital Dashboard provides an intuitive workspace for command, control and communication via a standard web browser, giving the user access to reports, alerts, and tools such as wire feeds, news services, video, and other information sources.
