Regulatory trend monitoring for comprehensive industry compliance analysis
Regulatory activity creates a trail of information—comment letters, inspection findings, and enforcement actions—that reveals where oversight priorities are being applied.
Structured and searchable insights
Ideagen Audit Analytics makes these developments clear by organizing decades of regulatory disclosures into structured, searchable insights.
For example, our databases allow you to monitor:
- Key Audit Matters (KAMs) and Critical Audit Matters (CAMs) – showing how auditors flag significant risks
- Internal Controls and Disclosure Controls – highlighting recurring weaknesses across industries
- Cybersecurity Incidents – tracking how digital risks are disclosed over time
- Financial Restatements – categorized by accounting issue since 2000, surfacing systemic challenges
- ESG Reports – illustrating how sustainability disclosures are evolving globally
These are just some of the datasets available. Together, they provide a clear view of how regulatory and policy themes develop and shift over time.
Industry peer benchmarking
Understanding how your peers address compliance, risk, and disclosure is critical to evaluating your own practices. Audit Analytics enables benchmarking across industries and geographies, helping you identify strengths, weaknesses, and emerging concerns.
For example, you can compare your organization against peers using:
- SOX 404 and SOX 302 control weaknesses – to see how frequently internal control issues are disclosed
- Cybersecurity Incidents and CAMs – to understand how risks are communicated across sectors
- Audit Fees – to benchmark audit costs and fee structures across companies and industries
- Restatements and ESG reporting practices – to track how organizations address recurring challenges and disclosure demands
With coverage of 60,000 active and historical SEC registrants and 8,000 European companies, our benchmarking capabilities provide the context you need to measure where your organization stands relative to peers.
