Failing to align ERP replacement with compliance creates rework, audit findings, and delayed go-lives.
The situation this course is for
Audit teams often inherit ERP projects without early input, leading to control gaps, documentation shortfalls, and last-minute remediation. Traditional migration plans overlook compliance integration, putting assurance outcomes at risk.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, internal auditors, risk specialists, and IT governance professionals involved in ERP modernization.
Who this is not for
This is not for developers managing ERP configuration or vendors selling implementation services. It’s not for teams seeking high-level overviews without actionable steps.
What you walk away with
- Design ERP replacement strategies that embed compliance from initiation
- Map audit requirements directly to system migration workflows
- Leverage control frameworks within ERP lifecycle planning
- Produce audit-ready documentation for every phase
- Anticipate and resolve compliance risks before deployment
