LiveCompare answers a broad range of audit-related questions. Use
LiveCompare to automate the analysis of SAP configuration and to check against governance, risk and compliance
best practice, highlighting issues before they
become significant. Whether it’s checking system security, segregation of duty, G/L account
configuration, promotion controls or process hand-offs, LiveCompare gives you
continuous audit control.
Security Administration:
Use LiveCompare to automatically identify:
- Terminated employees with active SAP accounts
- Dormant users
- All users with SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles
LiveCompare provides an easy-to-run analysis that can be scheduled each day with
the results delivered by email to all relevant parties. LiveCompare can also
examine the provision of key authorizations and look at global change options on
the production system.
Credit Management:
Use
LiveCompare to ensure that the appropriate safety controls are in place –
perform credit checks
Use
LiveCompare to confirm that SAP is configured to automatically perform a credit
check prior to allowing an order to be booked and to place the order on hold
should the credit check fail.
Use
LiveCompare to check privileges so that accounts with the authority to remove
credit locks don’t also have permission to create sales orders.
Procurement Process:
Use
LiveCompare to look at procurement processes or more specifically SAP
configuration that affects how those processes are supported by the software.
Use
LiveCompare to test SAP configuration of your G/L to see that the inventory
account is credited and the cost of goods sold account is debited on the G/L
when a ship-confirm (post goods issue) transaction is processed.
Use
LiveCompare to analyse SAP configuration for the 3-way match of sales order,
shipping document and invoice are processed properly in standard sales, delivery
and invoicing cycles.
Accounts Receivable:
Use LiveCompare to check configuration for invoice aging
and ensure that invoices are aged
based on the invoice date and if cash is applied in an amount less than the
invoice total, the remaining invoice balance is aged based on the invoice date
rather than the date the payment was applied.
Financial Reporting:
Use LiveCompare to verify your SAP configuration
against best practice. For example, accounts are examined to find those users
with permission to open or close posting periods. This examination enables you
to verify that controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance that
posting period maintenance is authorized.
IDOCs and EDIs:
Interfaces between SAP and non-SAP systems can affect
your financial data. Use LiveCompare to verify your SAP configuration against
best practice. For example, accounts are examined to ensure that only properly
authorized users have the ability to modify IDOCs for resolving interface
issues. Use LiveCompare to look at the configuration of SAP to automatically
validate pricing information on EDI orders. Use LiveCompare to report on the
back-log of failed interfaces to ensure that these are properly monitored and
the necessary corrections carried out.
Pricing Overrides:
Use LiveCompare to examine configuration and access to
pricing overrides to ensure that proper authorizations are required to override
prices and determine the validity of the override.
Marketing and Promotion:
Use LiveCompare to examine your PFMS
configuration to ensure, for example, that commitments made do not exceed the
approved promotional amounts for fixed-fund promotions.
