A Governance Engine Built Inside Business Central

Structured workflows. Automated controls. Embedded evidence. AWH GRC gives Business Central the governance layer it needs β€” without external systems or data duplication.

Built for CFOs, COOs, and compliance leaders who need their ERP to prove its own governance.

Professional working with governance programs and compliance tools

From Workflow Design to Audit-Ready Evidence

Six stages that transform fragmented ERP controls into structured internal governance. Each step builds on the last to create a complete, auditable system.

1

Define the Workflow

Create governance, risk, or compliance processes with structured stages. Each workflow captures its purpose, scope, and expected duration β€” version-controlled from day one.

2

Assign Ownership

Define responsible users and departments for each stage. Everyone knows exactly who is accountable, who must approve, and who is notified when something is overdue.

3

Enforce Entity Controls

Automatically block, restrict, or release records at defined milestones. Multiple workflows can run simultaneously on the same entity, each enforcing its own governance rules in real time.

4

Monitor Deadlines & SLAs

Configure durations in working hours, business days, or calendar days. Detect overdue tasks before they become audit findings. Compare configured targets against actual execution times.

5

Capture Evidence Automatically

Every action is logged with who did it, when, and why β€” linked directly to the Business Central records it governs. Evidence is generated as a by-product of daily operations.

6

Analyze & Continuously Improve

Use common stages and versioning to compare execution times across workflows. Identify bottlenecks, optimize control points, and demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors.

Before AWH GRC vs. After AWH GRC

See the difference a native governance layer makes across every dimension of internal control.

Control Enforcement
Before

Manual checklists and trust-based compliance

After

Automated entity rules that block, restrict, or release records in real time

Audit Preparation
Before

Weeks of manual evidence collection from emails, screenshots, and spreadsheets

After

Evidence generated automatically as a by-product of daily operations

Process Ownership
Before

Unclear responsibility β€” "everyone is responsible" means no one is

After

Explicit ownership mapped to every stage, user, and department

Integrated SOPs
Before

Static, disconnected SOPs in separate document libraries

After

Integrated SOPs living inside the ERP workflows, where work happens

Risk Visibility
Before

Risks discovered after they materialize; reactive firefighting

After

Real-time SLA monitoring with proactive alerts and escalation

Governance

Define, Version & Control Every Process

Move beyond informal process definitions. AWH GRC gives you a structured, versioned repository of every governance workflow β€” with clear ownership, task sequencing, and benchmarking built in.

Process Definition & Versioning

Create structured workflows with full version history. Compare execution across versions and track changes over time.

Common Stage Benchmarking

Reuse common stages across workflows to benchmark execution time and identify optimization opportunities.

Clear Accountability Mapping

Every stage maps to a responsible user, department, and escalation path. No ambiguity about who owns what.

Structured Task Sequencing

Define prerequisite relationships between stages. Ensure tasks execute in the correct order with proper controls.

Risk Management

Monitor Risks Where They Happen

Stop managing risk in disconnected spreadsheets. AWH GRC embeds risk-based controls directly into your ERP workflows, so you detect issues in real time β€” not weeks after the fact.

Risk-Based Workflow Design

Design workflows around identified risks. Higher-risk processes get more control points and stricter deadlines.

SLA & Deadline Monitoring

Track real-time SLA compliance across all active workflows. Visual dashboards highlight which processes need attention.

Overdue Detection & Alerts

Missed deadlines are flagged in the process list and calendar. Overdue tasks are instantly visible so issues surface before they become findings.

Bottleneck & Failure Visibility

See exactly where processes stall. Identify recurring bottlenecks and address root causes proactively.

Compliance & Audit

Evidence as a By-Product of Operations

Stop producing compliance evidence as a separate exercise. With AWH GRC, every approval, every decision, and every milestone generates its own audit trail β€” automatically, without extra effort.

Process-Level Audit Trail

Complete, tamper-resistant record of every action taken within each workflow β€” who, when, what, and why.

Change Log Integration

Visibility into Business Central's native change log data directly within the governance context of each process.

Structured Approval Evidence

Approvals are captured with full context: the approver, the decision, the timestamp, and the record affected.

Framework Compatibility

Feature-aligned with leading governance, risk, and compliance frameworks: COSO, SOX, ISO, and ESG reporting governance expectations under CSRD/ESRS.
