Many-to-Many Matching: Compare sets of detail items to other sets of detail items
Point-to-Point Validation: Validate detail information across business applications, processes, and technology platforms
Cycle-to-Cycle Validation: Validate detail control values from the current cycle against those from previous cycles
Examples of Detail Controls at work:
- Positively verify all customers records from origination systems to enterprise-wide customer database

- Provide audit reports to ensure compliance with laws and business rules

Tracking Controls

Arrival Tracking: Ensure that transactions expected to arrive at a particular processing point actually get there
Latency Tracking: Verify that transactions pass from one processing point to another processing point within a specified time period
Examples of Tracking Controls at work:
