Segregation of Duties: Establishing a policy and framework for ongoing success

Adapted from Le Bulletin, Volume 2, “Séparation des tâches: mettre en œuvre et pérenniser.”

By Vincent Manière, Boris Van den Bergh, and Cary Haggard - Protiviti

Segregation of duties is an important part of a strong internal control framework. In this Bulletin, the authors share their experience in establishing a segregation of duties policy and framework, which are the pillars of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). They also define concepts and practices for implementing and monitoring policy compliance within applications.
