Webcast overview
In this Future of SOX webcast, we will explore how companies are using ERP implementations and upgrades to drive significant increases in their levels of controls automation. We will also explore why technology implementations are the number one cause of material weaknesses and the specific pitfalls to avoid.
In this upcoming webcast, Jonathan Levitt, Managing Director in the KPMG Cybersecurity & Technology Risk network, will describe how to ensure that the full control capabilities are leveraged as part of an ERP upgrade or implementation, and he’ll share some practical, real-world examples to ensure your implementation results in a more automated environment. Subash Samuels, Principal in the KPMG Internal Audit & Controls network, will then discuss external audit considerations related to an upgrade or implementation, related to the implementation and the resulting automated controls.
Sue King, US SOX Offering Leader for KPMG, will moderate the discussion, providing perspective on the implications on internal controls and SOX programs.
Specific topics of discussion will include:
- The control automation possibilities offered with ERP applications
- Considerations to ensure your upgrade or implementation results in an automated control environment and not just a ‘lift and shift’ of the current process
- Exploring the internal control pitfalls related to system upgrades and implementations
