ACL 3.2 (Audit Command Language) (Software Review) (Evaluation)

Article Abstract:

Audit Command Language (ACL) is an interrogation software package based on an MS-DOS PC and designed to analyze financial data at a very fast rate. For instance, it can stratify a 30,000 record file within 18 seconds and come up with three reports from this file within a little more than half a minute. Aside from STRATIFY, the ACL has a multitude of commands including COUNT, TOTAL, LIST, STATISTICS and HISTOGRAM. This software package is extremely efficient, easy to set up and very functional. ACL has another version called ACL Plus. The only difference between the two is that ACL Plus is capable of automatically translating mini and mainframe computers' data formats and it allows a tape drive to be directly attached. Both versions are available from ACL Services Ltd in Vancouver, Canada. A single-user copy of ACL costs $995, while a single-user copy of ACL Plus is priced at $1,995.
