World’s Largest Mortgage Finance Company Chooses SOX-XL for Spreadsheet Controls.

July 24, 2006: CIMCON Software, Inc., a pioneering leader in spreadsheet compliance technology, announced today that the World’s Largest Mortgage Finance Company has chosen and implemented its SOX-XL Spreadsheet Solution to implement spreadsheet controls.

SOX-XL implements security, cell-level auditing and accountability for spreadsheets. Multiple security mechanisms include secure, role-based access to Excel spreadsheets such that only authorized users can make changes to financial data. Cell level audit trails track all changes to data. Based on a review of the audit trail, supervisors and managers at the workgroup, department, site or division level can certify each sub-process and the validity of data using role-based electronic signatures. These signatures are then rolled up to the officers of the firm to greatly ease their task of certifying financial reports and procedures. Collectively, these controls close the compliance loop and aid in certification of internal controls by both management as well as external auditors.
