The Continuous Monitoring (CM) User Group is an informal gathering of SAS customers using the CM solution which aims to develop frameworks and guidance for the management of Fraud Waste and Abuse, particularly with respect to the Procurement Process (including Supplier Integrity) and Travel and Expenses.
It will provide an important forum for our customers, where they can:
- Discuss effective financial crime risk management.
- Share experiences in using the CM solution from both organizational and functional perspectives.
- Create a pool of best practices (scenarios, models and reports) that will be shared amongst members.
- Establish a CM solution road map for the coming year with clearly identified priorities defined by the community.
- Publish a number of documents, whether in the form of Principles, Guidance, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or Statements. These will all be shared with members of the group as well as potential members.
Welcome to our 2024 forum!
This event would be held under Chatham House rules.
The User Group is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
