This book is designed to help SAP project managers, implementation teams, administrators, and users learn how to "think like an auditor" so they can be better-prepared for an internal or external audit of their SAP system. It provides practical, proven advice for preparing an audit roadmap for the system as a whole, and drills down into specific domains (applications, components, and business processes) to provide expert guidance on the most common audit objectives for those areas. No team facing an SAP system audit should be without it! "Think Like an Auditor" Get practical advice from an experienced SAP auditor on how to train your team to look at the audit roadmap from the auditor's perspective, and address weaknesses and "gotchas" before they happen. Bulletproof Your Implementation and Enhancement/Upgrade Process Learn how to ensure the effective design and implementation of controls for new SAP implementations, as well as the SAP upgrade and enhancement process, one of the biggest sources of audit problems. Get Hands-on with Specific Domains Understand the audit objectives at the application and component level, including SAP Basis, ERP Financials, MM, SD, and more. Audit Roadmap for General Controls in SAP Master the nuances of the major general controls in SAP, and the source of many audit issues: change management, segregation of duties, and emergency changes. Audit Tips and Tools Find answers on special issues and situations, audit tools available for SAP systems, third-party programs and services, and more.

Security, Audit and Control Features SAP® ERP, 3rd Edition, part of the Technical and Risk Management Reference Series, enables assurance, security and risk professionals to evaluate risks and controls in existing ERP implementations and facilitates the design and building of controls into system upgrades and enhancements.

The publication is based on SAP ERP [also known as SAP ERP Central Component (ECC)], the latest version of which is SAP ECC 6.0.

This in-demand new edition has been updated to reflect:

• New/modified SAP transaction codes and reports
• SAP ERP based on a service oriented architecture (SOA). SOA combines SAP ERP with an open technology platform that can integrate SAP and non-SAP systems using the SAP Netweaver platform.
• SAP GRC suite of tools, including Access Control and Process Control, which offers corporate governance and risk management solutions

Over the last few years, financial statement scandals, cases of fraud and corruption, data protection violations, and other legal violations have led to numerous liability cases, damages claims, and losses of reputation. As a reaction to these developments, several regulations have been issued: Corporate Governance, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, IFRS, Basel II and III, Solvency II and BilMoG, to name just a few. In this book, compliance is understood as the process, mapped not only in an internal control system, that is intended to guarantee conformity with legal requirements but also with internal policies and enterprise objectives (in particular, efficiency and profitability). The current literature primarily confines itself to mapping controls in SAP ERP and auditing SAP systems. Maxim Chuprunov not only addresses this subject but extends the aim of internal controls from legal compliance to include efficiency and profitability and then well beyond, because a basic understanding of the processes involved in IT-supported compliance management processes are not delivered along with the software. Starting with the requirements for compliance (Part I), he not only answers compliance-relevant questions in the form of an audit guide for an SAP ERP system and in the form of risks and control descriptions (Part II), but also shows how to automate the compliance management process based on SAP GRC (Part III). He thus addresses the current need for solutions for implementing an integrated GRC system in an organization, especially focusing on the continuous control monitoring topics. Maxim Chuprunov mainly targets compliance experts, auditors, SAP project managers and consultants responsible for GRC products as readers for his book. They will find indispensable information for their daily work from the first to the last page. In addition, MBA, management information system students as well as senior managers like CIOs and CFOs will find a wealth of valuable information on compliance in the SAP ERP environment, on GRC in general and its implementation in particular.
