In recent years, financial scandals, fraud, and legal violations have resulted in numerous liability cases and reputational losses, prompting the introduction of various regulations such as Corporate Governance, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Basel II and III. This book defines compliance as a process that ensures adherence to legal requirements and internal policies while aiming for efficiency and profitability. While existing literature often focuses on controls within SAP ERP systems, Maxim Chuprunov expands the discussion to include not only legal compliance but also the broader objectives of efficiency and profitability. He begins by outlining compliance requirements and provides an audit guide for SAP ERP systems, detailing risks and control descriptions. Furthermore, he demonstrates how to automate compliance management using SAP GRC, addressing the pressing need for integrated GRC solutions within organizations, particularly in continuous control monitoring. The book is primarily aimed at compliance experts, auditors, SAP project managers, and GRC consultants, offering essential insights for their work. Additionally, MBA students, management information system students, and senior management, including CIOs and CFOs, will discover valuable information on compliance within the SAP ERP framework and the implementation of GRC systems.
