Frequently Asked Questions
What you should know about the GRC Expert knowledgebase
What is it?
- GRC Expert is an online knowledgebase accessible through a licensed subscription. It currently contains articles that provide expert-written, expert-validated advice and instruction covering technical and functional topics pertaining to governance, risk, and compliance considerations throughout your SAP system as well as SAP BusinessObjects governance, risk management, and compliance solutions.
- Licenses to access the online knowledgebase are available for teams of all sizes as well as individual users. Each eligible license holder can access the knowledgebase – using a registered username/personal password – anytime 24/7 from any computer with internet access. Licenses can be easily customized to meet the needs of your team or organization. Our team-oriented pricing offers the greatest value to your organization. License plans and further information are available at www.sapexperts.com, or by calling us at 1.781.751.8799.
Who writes the articles?
- The articles are written by experienced SAP customers, the world’s top SAP consultants, and the people at SAP who developed the functionality.
- Each submitted article is reviewed by an editorial board consisting of respected GRC and SAP BusinessObjects governance, risk management, and compliance specialists. A meticulous and thorough editorial process is followed to ensure that the finished article meets the highest standards of accuracy and that it represents the accepted best practice in the industry. You can be sure that every published article contains the best available information on the topic covered.
How do I use the knowledgebase?
- AS A 24/7 ON-BOARD CONSULTANT: You can gather information for various implementations on your own, whether it’s tips from Jayne Gibbon’s “Analyze Segregation of Duties in Legacy Systems with Compliance Calibrator” or Karol Bliznak’s “Combine SAP Strategy Management and GRC Risk Management for Risk-Intelligent Strategic Execution.”
- AS A STAFF TRAINING TOOL: Discover handy collections of material in one place to give to your staff, such as Anurag Barua’s “7 Standard SAP Reports for Audit Information” or strategic advice such as Mitresh Kundalia’s “Build Bullet-Proof Testing Strategies to Comply with Legal and Industry Regulations.”
- AS AN AID TO COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER SAP DEPARTMENTS: Implementing strong GRC procedures often means making sure all of your SAP departments are on the same page and are all being considered in your GRC strategies. Bryan Wilson’s article, “Identify Fraud Risks with Forensic Audit Queries,” shows how to extend GRC functionality throughout your SAP system during implementation, while Jonathan Griffith explores BI authorizations in “Ensure Business Access Segregation by Automatically Generating SAP NetWeaver BI Analysis Authorizations.”
- AS A WAY OF KEEPING UP WITH THE CHANGING REGULATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD: Sarbanes-Oxley is at the forefront for most US companies, but any organization working on a global level must keep up with concerns all over the world. Juergen Weiss looks into the SEPA regulations in Europe in “Prepare Your SAP Financials System for the Single Euro Payments Area” and Kees van Westerop debunks some common beliefs about European reports in “Quick Tip: 7 Reasons You Don’t Need to Reconcile VAT and Intrastat Reports.”
