M. D. Anderson Selects Oversight Systems’ Continuous Transaction Monitoring Solution for Accounts Payable Processes

ATLANTA (August 26, 2008) – Oversight Systems, the leading provider of automated continuous transaction monitoring software, announced today that The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has contracted to implement Oversight’s continuous monitoring solution for the procure-to-pay process. Oversight was awarded the contract after responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by M. D. Anderson.

 “Our primary objective for continuous monitoring was to maximize the overall quality of our accounts payable processing, while minimizing the cost to support a 100 percent prepayment audit of all disbursements generated by the accounts payable process,” said Michael Keneker, M. D. Anderson associate vice president and controller.

Oversight's software eliminates fraud, misuse and errors within transactions and streamlines financial processes through an integrated application that combines an audit data warehouse, advanced analytics and automated resolution workflow. Oversight’s Collaborative Reasoning Engine (CoRE)™ incorporates the tests and heuristics used by forensic accountants, auditors and fraud examiners to continuously inspect each transaction for errors, control-violations and fraud. The integrated Workbench, with its intelligent workflow system, makes it easy for customers to resolve any of the identified issues.
