Steve Lindseth Chairman of Axentis Axentis

Axentis, Inc. and the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters has announced a partnership to launch a pilot program integrating Axentis Enterprise with Checkpoint, Tax & Accounting’s online productivity and workflow solution for tax and accounting professionals. The resulting solution enables chief financial officers and compliance officers to easily operationalize financial and audit regulatory content and guidance while enabling compliance with government standards and best practices.
 
Axentis Enterprise is a recognized and well-regarded governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solution. “We are pleased to enter this partnership with Axentis,” says Mark Schlageter, president, Tax & Accounting’s Research & Guidance business. “The integration between Checkpoint and Axentis Enterprise translates to more efficient workflow and enables our customers to make informed decisions in managing and measuring regulatory and operational risk.”
 
Financial professionals using Checkpoint linked to Axentis Enterprise can now:
Drive audit and financial reporting along with longer-term compliance and performance through a library of hundreds of checklists for Corporate Governance, SEC, GAAP and other financial and audit processes from Tax & Accounting
Support decision-making and improved compliance through integrated links to comprehensive Checkpoint analyses and references to source rules/regulations as well as e-learning solutions from Tax & Accounting
Stay up-to-date on upcoming regulatory requirements through an integrated RSS feed
Improve visibility with effective dashboard reporting on the current state of compliance to these regulations throughout the enterprise
 
As examples, audit and compliance professionals monitoring regulatory changes can determine the impact of such change on the organization. By using assessments directed to business unit finance directors, audit professionals can also determine which parts of the organization are impacted, and can then define and track action plans to ensure compliance.
 
Further, resulting changes in associated policies and procedures, linked back to the regulation or risk, can be managed and stored centrally to provide a consistent enterprise view, and can be automatically distributed in a timely manner to the appropriate stakeholders within the organization.
 
Steve Lindseth, CEO, Axentis, Inc. says: “With this partnership, Axentis extends its unique SaaS model and integrated e-learning, assessment and policy management capabilities to break down the barriers between content and application in the highly dynamic tax and accounting industry. Having seamless and in-context access to Checkpoint’s expansive content and workflow solutions will greatly enhance our customers’ ability to optimize GRC-related activities and overall corporate performance.”
