At ACTIVEPOINT, we provide evidential reasoning in the accounting and process domain through procedural protocols in evidentiary discovery, analysis, and presentation.

Business process management is evolving into a complex process as several sub-processes get integrated with automated systems. It is very essential to hand-over the control when the process switches between the automated and manual processes. Besides, the processes in itself needs to be robust such that it provides flexibility and at the same time not loose control or increase the risk. We provide business process audit services that identifies the process weaknesses, bottlenecks, and control issues related with the business and suggest ways and means by which these can be mitigated.
