RTA - Real Time Audit

Real Time Audit (RTA) is the management of critical information on any process ensuring that it is recorded, saved, transmitted, analysed and accessible in real time with data input and access being in any location. RTA is a horizontal technology but has a direct relevance and potential impact on the effectiveness of most vertical process and project applications, day to day business management and accounts.

This web site provides information on the development and application of RTA making use of the leading edge World Wide Web and Internet technologies.

The motivation for this initiative

The Economic Performance Committee of the GBF estimate that losses arising from inappropriate information management systems cost industry something like €500 billion each year in the United Kingdom alone. In the case of worldwide international development aid, something like €50 billion is lost each year because of the lack or use of inappropriate process and project information management.
