SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CAPTURING AND ARCHIVING EMAIL

摘要

Systems and methods effect audit resource planning and data collection and storage by selectively capturing and soring for future reference all relevant electronic correspondence, including emails and attachments, transmitted between a company and a company's vendors or business partners. Systems and methods utilize operator-defined selection criteria to determine whether electronic correspondence is pertinent. Selection criteria is applied in either real-time to incoming and outgoing emails, or to past emails. Emails, and scanned paper documents, identified by the selection criteria as pertinent are stored in a searchable and retrievable format to enable an auditor or post-audit provider to access the necessary documentation.
