Abstract

This research explores cost optimization and efficiency improvement in enterprise BI reporting through the implementation of strong audit and governance strategies. Through formal auditing of BI processes, organizations are able to detect redundancies, remove inefficiencies, and optimize reporting workflows. At the same time, a clear-cut governance framework helps ensure data quality, enforces compliance with reporting standards, and aligns BI initiatives with general business goals. Incorporating audit results into governance practices not only minimizes the cost of operations but also enhances decision-making, better resource utilization, and better resource allocation. In the long run, this strategy creates a sustainable reporting ecosystem that maximizes enterprise agility and enables long-term competitive advantage at the same time while exercising fiscal prudence.
