The challenge

Cadence Bank‘s mission is to help companies and communities prosper. With a broad range of products for both personal and business banking, it’s known for its comprehensive financial services.
But operating in an increasingly volatile and uncertain business environment meant they needed an audit and risk environment that was fully integrated, robust and agile so that every arm of the bank could be aware of existing and emerging risks. 

The solution

Ensuring compliance and improving audit quality were top priorities, so they needed to address:. 
•    Fragmented audit processes across multiple entities
•    Inefficient risk management practices
•    A need for enhanced audit quality and consistency 

They recognised they needed an effective solution to integrate their audit and risk management functions:

•    Comprehensive audit management capabilities
•    Real-time risk assessment and reporting
•    User-friendly interface that promotes adoption across departments
