With consumer confidence in financial services severely undermined by multiple control failures, there is extreme pressure for financial institutions to demonstrate best practices in governance and risk management to their auditors, thereby ensuring full operational transparency. In the past, end user applications, most commonly spreadsheets and Microsoft Access Databases, were a hidden area of activity. This lack of visibility helped bring upon today’s economic crisis, and is no longer tolerated by most financial institutions, ClusterSeven says.
“ClusterSeven’s sales in 11 countries demonstrates that spreadsheet management is now a global requirement,” said Ralph Baxter, CEO of ClusterSeven. “Spreadsheet risk has been revealed as a common threat to financial institutions throughout the world. Our expansion in a down economy illustrates that many organizations are aggressively rectifying any issues they have regarding the integrity of important financial data.”
