Segregation of Duties Review Report
Ensuring Compliance Through Effective Role and Access Management
Our Segregation of Duties Review Report is designed to help organizations strengthen their internal controls by systematically identifying and resolving conflicts in user access and role assignments within key financial systems. By leveraging advanced SAP analysis tools, this audit solution enables companies, especially those with complex systems, to proactively address compliance requirements, streamline remediation efforts and reduce the risk of fraud or error. This tool not only supports regulatory compliance such as SOX but also empowers management with actionable insights and a clear remediation plan, promoting long-term operational efficiency and confidence in access governance.
Within this tool, we have included two samples that provide a focused examination of critical control areas and real-world scenarios organizations face when managing segregation of duties. Sample 1 outlines the project review process, detailing how to assess project status, identify risks and engage stakeholders effectively. Sample 2 focuses on the rollout process and remediation planning, illustrating practical steps for prioritizing risks, implementing sustainable solutions and aligning business rules with technical controls. Each sample is designed to offer actionable insights and best practices, encouraging users to explore the structured methodology within the full tool and enhance their approach to ongoing compliance management.
Audit findings in this report include:
- Corporate policies, current business processes, HR positions and SAP security are not aligned and do not support each other.
- Maintenance processes to help keep the number of segregation of duties conflicts at a managed level have not been defined or established.
- The misuse of the process to address segregation of duties conflicts has created confusion and discomfort among many within management.
- Key differences exist between the two instances of SAP used by the company.
