Periodic reviews of Windows file shares

What are some of your best practices or recommendations on how to
effectively conduct periodic access control reviews of large Windows file
shares, which can span many folders and groups?

While we keep track and document any access control changes to the shares
over time, we would also like to conduct reviews of how the access to the
shares are actually set.  A comprehensive report listing all the access
control settings of file shares would be massive and I would like to see if
there are any other approaches I can undertake for quick and effective
reviews.
