Protiviti, a global consulting firm and subsidiary of Robert Half, has been awarded its first patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for 'Systems and Methods for Automated Audit Artifact Reconciliation.' This marks a significant milestone in the company's history of innovation.
The newly patented process dramatically reduces the time required to test for unauthorized access, a common Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and operational risk, from days to minutes. This innovation provides organizations with greater confidence in their controls and can also assist with user access reviews.
This patent is a direct outcome of Protiviti's Global Patent Program, launched in 2022, which encourages employee innovation to deliver groundbreaking solutions to clients. The technology is a component of Protiviti's Technology Accelerator Platform, which offers packaged automation, analytics, and AI-enabled solutions for internal audit and SOX challenges.
