How NSE Automated Internal Audit & Approval Workflows Across Departments
The National Stock Exchange of India replaced manual email-based approval routing with ShareDocs Enterpriser. Approvals that once took days now complete in hours. Every action is logged, every document is traceable.
NSE operates across equities, derivatives, currency and other asset classes — each with its own compliance requirements. Internal audit processes required coordination between multiple departments: initiating a request, routing it for review, getting approvals from the right people, and archiving the outcome.
Without a centralised system, this relied on email threads and manual follow-ups. Approvals stalled when someone was unavailable. Audit trails were inconsistent. Different departments had no visibility into where a request stood — delays and miscommunication were creating audit risks.
The Challenge
- ✗Time-consuming manual approval routing
- ✗No inter-departmental transparency
- ✗No standardised process — each team worked differently
- ✗Delays and miscommunication causing audit risks
The Solution
- ✓Customisable workflow for each audit process type
- ✓Central repository with role-based departmental access
- ✓Complete audit trails and access logs
- ✓Real-time request tracking across all departments
