Download or read book Auditing and GRC Automation in SAP written by Maxim Chuprunov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Continuous Assurance for the Now Economy written by Miklos A. Vasarhelyi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last few decades businesses in Australia and around the world have been utterly transformed by powerful information technologies, from the PC and the internet to email and cellular phones - to the extent that a new type of economy is said to have been created: the 'Now Economy' which is characteriesed by 24/7/365 globalised operations, customer interaction and management decision making. By contrast, the way in which these entities are audited has not experienced an equivalent evolution. Over the last century, external auditors have tended to examine an entity only once a year and listed entities themselves only report quarterly in many parts of the world and half yearly in Australia, even though the capability exists for both reporting and auditing on a much timlier basis. The emerging field of Continuous Assurance attempts to better match internal and external audting practices to the reality of the IT-eanbled entity in order to provide stakeholders with more timely assurance. The dramatic collapse of leading banks around the world makes it all the more important that external and internal auditors take full advantage of modern technology to provide shareholders and managers with the most timely and relevant assurance."--P. 7.
