Marcum Technology Introduces Intelligent Prism

New York City, NY – Marcum LLP’s Marcum Technology division today announced the launch of Intelligent Prism, an automated data analytics service for accounting firms that do not have the internal data analytics capability requisite for today’s audit departments.

Intelligent Prism transforms the audit process by automating client data consumption and analysis, to increase audit quality, efficiency and profitability. Using robotic process automation (RPA) and other Intelligent Automation (IA) technologies, Intelligent Prism processes and standardizes large volumes of data to produce clean, consumable data sets. Converting data to a usable format and extracting the precise information that’s needed helps audit firms overcome a “same as last year” mentality to deliver more value to clients and meet deadlines more quickly and cost-effectively.

“Traditionally, auditors have faced the constant challenge of working with data in whatever format they receive from clients. Manually sorting and analyzing data is not only inefficient, it diverts auditor talent from higher-value strategic services. By automating and streamlining the process of data consumption and analysis, Intelligent Prism supports decision-making and enables firms to better capitalize on their professionals’ strategic strengths,” said Peter Scavuzzo, a Marcum partner and CEO of Marcum Technology.

“Intelligent Prism is the most recent example of how Marcum is harnessing technology not only as an investment in our Firm’s future, but to help advance the accounting industry as a whole,” Mr. Scavuzzo said.

Intelligent Prism can be leveraged to produce data on demand for a broad range of applications. The service also enables upgraded data governance to turn data into a strategic asset.
