Business process automation (BPA) is the technology-enabled automation of activities or services that accomplish a specific function or workflow. 

The success of any business process automation shall only be achieved when BPA ensures:

Confidentiality: To ensure that data is only available to persons who have right to see the same;

Integrity: To ensure that no un-authorized amendments can be made in the data;

Availability: To ensure that data is available when asked for; and

Timeliness: To ensure that data is made available in at the right time. To ensure that all the above parameters are met, BPA needs to have appropriate internal controls put in place.
