Governance over digital transformation
Governance over your digital transformation is key to ensuring your new systems operate as intended. Our digital audit professionals are experienced in supporting you to ensure the following areas of risks are covered, across all types of system implementations:
- New systems/ enhancements are sufficiently tested.
- Data migration is performed completely and accurately from your legacy system to the new system.
- Problems identified during the development and/or implementation are appropriately resolved.
- Users are appropriately trained in the functionality and maintenance of the system.
Leveraging your investment for higher performance and risk management
By reviewing your existing processes either during or after implementation, we can help your organisation better leverage your enterprise technologies to automate controls, driving a higher return on investment and improving risk management.
PwC’s digital audit professionals have done this, particularly with SAP systems (including upgrades from SAP ECC to SAP S/4 HANA).
SAP risks and controls
We can evaluate the following areas of your organisation’s SAP landscape:
- Security – supporting the design and implementation of sustainable and scalable access of management roles to secure your SAP systems. From pre- to post-implementation, we can help you:
- Conduct a review of your SAP role design for the key segregation of duties (SOD) and restriction of data access (including assistance to build SOD access matrix).
- Maximise SAP Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) technology to allow for automated provisioning via workflows and governing access to support compliance.
- Conduct a review of your SAP access management and role management to simplify maintenance.
- Conduct reviews relating to end user access to the High-Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) database and security over the Fiori interface.
- Controls integration – combining security and controls, we make sure your SAP systems are protected and meet compliance requirements. We can help your organisation:
- Understand the current state of security and controls to develop a sustainable future state of controls.
- Support SAP implementation by identifying key control requirements with business stakeholders.
- Verify key security and controls during implementation, and identify controls reconfiguration needs.
- Review existing manual controls and processes to suggest automation strategies within your SAP landscape.
