Business Units
Yesterday…
What existed in January 2011
Segregated DA efforts, DA programs running in bottling locations in
India, China, Philippines
Sparse DA efforts in Atlanta – mainly trending information, which did not
resonate with audit teams
What did not exist
Co-ordination efforts for existing DA initiatives at CCR, or other bottlers Thinking around analytics efforts around other business verticals
(regional finance centers business units, CPS plants etc)
Sophistication
2012
A u d it C o n tri b u ti o n Hindsight Insight Foresight Level 2 Applied Level 3 Managed Level 4 Automated Level 5 Monitoring Level 1 BasicWhat did we do?
Planned
a) Started with the end in mind
b) “Guys, the two of you can’t sustain this using Desktop!”
c) Had an auditor on our side
d) Had a vendor on our side
What did we do…2?
Talked
a) With other companies who had a data analytics strategy
b) Weeded out common good ideas
c) Signed up for communities, User Groups etc.
Then?
Set Goals
Use analytics for all applicable audits in 2012
– we do almost 100+ audits a year
Started with 3 audit cycles - Field General Ledger and Close, Procure to
Pay, and Cash Disbursements
Procure ACLTM Analytics Exchange and ACLTM Direct Link for SAP®
Today…
What exists…
Financial Audits
– We cover Enterprise SAP for first phase of work (used at all Region Finance Centers, Business units, CPS plants, and Corporate)
– Use AX Server for 5 audit processes – Field General Ledger and Closing, Procure to Pay, Cash Disbursements (Payments), Cash Receipts, and Accounting for Marketing – a total of 50 tests.
IT Audits
– We have pure IT Audit Tests (UNIX/AIX configuration parameters testing, MainFrame and DB2 testing standardized on AX) – a total of 32 tests
Fraud/Anti-Bribery Work
– We also set up some tests around Fraud/FCPA work – especially Keyword searches on expenses, P-Cards etc.
Consistently using Direct Link (Data extraction) and AX (Data Preparation, processing) for 100% of all international audits
Sophistication
2013
A u d it C o n tri b u ti o n Hindsight Insight Foresight Level 2 Applied Level 3 Managed Level 4 Automated Level 5 Monitoring Level 1 BasicBenefits Thus Far…
Audit Issues and Cost Recoveries
– Identified eight audit issues, including one ‘high risk’ issue on five audits, thus ensuring dollar recoveries
– Identifying such issues in the past wouldn’t have been possible with the ‘random sampling’ approach.
Increased Audit effectiveness
– More than thirty reports increased coverage of transactions to 100%
– Six analytics set up to point out potential ‘red –flags’, which may indicate fraudulent activity.
Increased Audit efficiencies
– In 2012, 33 tests over three audit processes replaced reports, which the auditors used to extract at location, or rely on the operation for help
– Anecdotal feedback from an audit team, potentially changing audit approach -- extremely encouraging as use of ACL technology has replaced manual audit testing
Parameter Metric – Pre AX
Appetite Limited to 1 or 2 locations every audit (each audit is approx. 7-8 weeks)
Size 300K – 400K transactions
(per extraction)
SAP data extraction time 3 days – 1 week (several analytics weren't processed due to size e.g. VMF
changes) Prep and Running time for
analytics on desktop 9-12 hrs (approx.)
Lead Time 2 weeks
Metric - Post AX
No limit (completed 17 locations in month of Aug) 1.5-2MM transactions per six months per location)
20 - 40 minutes
1-2 hrs 2 days

Timeline View of TCCC’s Data Analytics Roadmap
Tomorrow…
100% of our audits rely substantially on data analytics executed at the center. At
least 20% of actual testing performed centrally
Audit management uses Dashboard/Visual Management to integrate into audit
planning and supplement annual risk assessment process
Continuous control monitoring (CCM) program in place for executive management
to see compliance status across the globe.
Client Operations and CIC (Corporate Internal Controls) also use analytics to
proactively measure compliance, specially for audits, which are on CSA (self Certification)
Continuous monitoring of FCPA and anti bribery analytics, via heat maps and
dashboards.
Extend DA program to other parts of the company, e.g. Global Data Governance,
