Audit Support- Sarbanes- Oxley (SOx) Act
The world food production leader, is planning IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, has requested GRC Advisory experts for support in the process of ensuring compliance with the Sarbanes - Oxley (SOx) Act in the HQ in Poland office.
Being compliant with SOx regulations is a very complex and demanding process that requires a huge commitment of key human resources in the organization. Unfortunately, the fulfillment of numerous audit tasks significantly affects the stable course of current business processes. The solution in such a situation may be the professional support of a temporary advisor who will help in the implementation of one-off audit tasks in this difficult period.
For these reasons, our Client decided to delegate some of the audit tasks to our professional GRC Team, which, thanks to extensive knowledge of business processes and audit expectations, as well as advanced knowledge of GRC class tools, helped to successfully complete the guidelines.
Our support included, among others:
- Support in controls testing for business processes and IT general controls (ITGC)
- Preparation of audit evidence for randomly selected samples
- Identification of too broad accesses in SAP systems (ECC, HCM, BW, PI) and risks related to segregation of duties conflicts
- Reporting of extensive accesses using the SAP GRC tool
- Support in the process of verifying and changing user permissions in the SAP system in order to reduce the number of Segregation of Duties conflicts.
