Auditing the Auditor: Eye of the Beholder

This talk was held on Wednesday, November 20, 2019.

The Indeed Money teams adhere to requirements from Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, informally called J-SOX. In the systems they manage and build, the Money teams check that modifications are approved at specific points in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

One of the most important approvals occurs during production deployments. During deployments, the team validates that all commits are covered by code reviews — and this can be very time consuming.

Learn about Beholder: a tool built at Indeed to automate the approval process for J-SOX adherence when updates are made to our financial processing systems.
