Publisher's Synopsis
Practical guidelines for assessing and managing the risk factors in ERP systems
ERP systems promise revolutionary integration of a business´s transactions-eliminating errors, improving efficiency, and offering employees universal access to information. Without proper implementation and maintenance, however, ERP systems can too easily become the 800-pound gorilla in the room, accomplishing little more than trading one set of problems for another. Integrated Auditing of ERP Systems provides IT managers a hands-on, practical guide to reducing risk and operating ERP systems effectively.
IT auditing expert Yusufali Musaji presents a structured methodology for managing risks in ERP systems and helpful auditing techniques to ensure their effectiveness. This one-of-a-kind instruction:
* Breaks the ERP life cycle into six comprehensible steps
* Explains the complex multilayered structure of data
* Identifies risks to operational efficiency and data integrity
* Maps how to conduct an integrated ERP audit
* Includes a chapter on minimizing SAP-specific risks
IS auditors, IT managers, and chief security officers will find Integrated Auditing of ERP Systems to be an invaluable resource.
