This new platform is designed to enable the PA Treasury to expand upon its existing fiscal review processes, which seek to identify and prevent error, waste, and fraud. The solutions will help the PA Treasury audit every transaction, which is expected to increase the annual savings the Treasury realizes for taxpayers. Given the impact, scale, and proactive approach, PA Treasury has been selected to receive the new Oracle GRC Innovation award, which will be presented at Oracle OpenWorld 2014 in San Francisco.
The Pennsylvania (PA) Treasury has completed a major financial transformation project using ) and to automate significant components of its payment and fiscal review processes.
The project replaced the agency's legacy payment systems with Oracle solutions and was completed on time and under budget.
Oracle GRC automates advanced financial controls across the PA Treasury's payment process to help prevent errors, waste, misuse, and fraud. The department processes more than 30 million transactions worth more than $75 billion yearly based on recent past fiscal year transaction volumes.
The PA Treasury's innovative use of Oracle GRC is expected to help the department increase the average annual savings realized through its pre-transactional audits.

For these reasons, we are delighted to present the Oracle GRC Innovation award to the Pennsylvania Treasury," said Sid Sinha, senior director, Oracle GRC Product Strategy.
