In an era of increasingly stringent regulations, compliance is crucial for organizations across a variety of industries. However, traditional ways of executing compliance processes can be time-consuming and error-prone, hindering operational efficiency and increasing risk. Fortunately, automated document control offers a solution to speed up and improve these processes. In this blog, we discuss how automatic document control can accelerate regulatory compliance through fast and thorough verification, and how EntrD’s FileFactory can play a key role in this process.

The challenges of traditional compliance processes

Compliance processes are often complex and require organizations to go through large amounts of documents to ensure they are in compliance with laws and regulations. This can range from reviewing financial documents for audit purposes to evaluating customer information for compliance with privacy laws such as the GDPR.

However, the traditional, manual approach to these processes has several drawbacks:

Time intensive

Manual document checks take a lot of time, especially when large amounts of data are involved. Employees have to go through each document carefully to make sure everything is in order. This not only slows down processes, but can also cause delays in other business activities.

Error-prone

Human error is inevitable in manual processes. This can lead to incomplete or incorrect controls, which in turn can result in non-compliance with regulations and possible fines or other penalties.

High cost

The amount of manpower required to perform these processes manually can add significant costs. Companies often have to employ additional staff or hire expensive consultants to help with complex compliance requirements.

The benefits of automatic document control

The use of automated document control offers a powerful alternative to traditional compliance processes. By using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and optical character recognition (OCR), companies can significantly speed up and improve their compliance processes.

Below are some of the key benefits:

Faster processing

Automated document review makes it possible to process large volumes of documents in a fraction of the time that manual review would require. Using AI and machine learning, systems can quickly browse through documents, extract information and compare it to relevant laws and regulations.

Thorough verification

Automation provides more thorough and consistent document verification. Instead of relying on human judgment, which can vary, automated document verification ensures that each document is reviewed according to the same criteria, reducing the risk of error.

Cost-effective

Reducing the need for manual labor translates directly into lower operational costs. In addition, companies that implement automated document control can save on fines and other costs associated with non-compliance with regulations.
