Claim:
A computer-implemented method to facilitate auditing of data in a database, the method comprising: entering first data into a first database; entering second data into at least one second database; creating an audit configuration including at least one audit parameter and an audit schedule, wherein the audit schedule indicates whether the audit is to be executed immediately upon the creating of the audit configuration or is to be executed at at least one predetermined date and time subsequent to the creating of the audit configuration, and wherein the audit schedule indicates whether the audit is a one-time audit or a recurring audit; executing the audit based at least in part on the audit configuration, wherein the executing of the audit includes: receiving screen data for navigating to a location of the first data, issuing a command for navigating to the location of the first data based on the screen data, and comparing the first data and the second data to determine if the first data and the second data are substantially similar prior to an authorization for a transaction.
