Audit teams often inherit ERP replacement projects late, leading to reactive control fixes and strained timelines.

The situation this course is for

ERP transitions move quickly, but audit functions can lag due to unclear ownership, shifting data models, and legacy control assumptions. This delay creates friction, rework, and diluted assurance quality. The pressure intensifies when teams lack a repeatable method to map existing controls into new environments or validate data integrity across migration phases.

Who this is for

Mid-career audit, compliance, or internal control professionals in technology or enterprise environments who are accountable for assurance during ERP lifecycle events.

Who this is not for

This is not for ERP developers, infrastructure engineers, or finance staff focused solely on reporting. It’s not for those seeking certification prep or high-level ERP overviews.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a phased framework to audit ERP replacement from planning through go-live
  • Preserve control integrity when migrating from legacy systems
  • Map compliance requirements directly to ERP configuration decisions
  • Use audit-led checklists to influence project timelines and scope
  • Deliver assurance faster with reusable validation templates and workflows
