title: Centralizing audit processes for lean efficiency: real-world experiences.
abstract: Centralized audit management and lean audit processes are quickly becoming a necessity to contain rising costs. Organizations adopt these approaches to improve productivity, reduce operational expense, and mitigate risk through denial prevention. Centralized teams will be in position to conduct presubmission reviews of all documents before they go out to auditors and to capitalize on technology and data to reduce costs.
