Is Your Business Running as Smoothly as You Think?

Behind every successful business is a set of well-oiled processes that keep things moving forward. But even the best processes can drift off track, leading to inefficiencies, financial leakage, and missed opportunities.

That’s where a process review from AKA comes in.

We help businesses take a step back to see the bigger picture, identifying blind spots, inefficiencies, and opportunities for growth. Let’s look at how we do it:

Compliance with Policies and Regulations

In industries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, staying compliant is not just good practice—it’s essential. AKA’s process reviews ensure that your operations align with both internal policies and industry-specific regulations. Whether it’s adhering to ISO standards or ensuring data protection under GDPR, we’ve got you covered.

Risk Management, Control Mechanisms & Continuous Transaction Monitoring

Every business faces risks—but the smartest ones have controls in place to manage them. AKA’s process reviews strengthen your risk management strategies, particularly through Continuous Transaction Monitoring (CTM). CTM allows for real-time or near-real-time detection of suspicious or unusual activities, ensuring that any potential fraud, money laundering, or unauthorized transactions are flagged instantly. For example, we worked with a finance company that discovered a critical loophole in its fraud prevention system. By tightening these controls, they minimized risks, reduced costs, and enhanced security.

Process Optimization for Continuous Improvement

Why stop at "good enough" when there’s room for excellence? AKA’s reviews focus on aligning your processes with your long-term business goals. We dive deep into your operations, spotting inefficiencies and recommending improvements. Whether it’s incorporating lean management principles or identifying areas where tech upgrades could drive productivity, our process reviews don’t just fix problems—they help you grow.

Internal Controls & SOP Adherence

Consistency is key to operational excellence. We ensure your internal controls are solid, and that everyone is adhering to your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This ensures fewer errors, improved workflow consistency, and higher overall efficiency. Whether it’s a manufacturing plant or a service industry, strong controls mean fewer surprises.

Revenue Assurance & Cost Savings

Are anonymous payments or multiple purchases slipping through the cracks? AKA helps businesses review their revenue processes, from discounts to invoice tracking, to prevent financial leakage. Additionally, we analyze cost structures to identify savings—preventing unnecessary expenses from piling up. For instance, we helped a retail business that was losing revenue due to inconsistent discount approvals. A detailed process review helped streamline their invoice approval system, protecting revenue flow.

System Recommendations for Long-Term Success

Planning to implement a new ERP or CRM system? A process review ensures your new systems integrate smoothly with your existing processes. We don't just recommend changes for the sake of it; our focus is on ensuring your software investments deliver real value and efficiency gains.
