Grant audits are a highly regulated process, particularly when it comes to complying with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls. Whether it’s an annual or monthly grant, stock teams must ensure all data is accurate and compliant before approval, including checking for issues like terminations, incorrect grant dates, or improper vesting schedules.

AI not only helps mitigate the risk of non-compliance, but also streamlines workflows, reduces time spent on repetitive tasks, and improves overall accuracy.
