12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
The monthly control evidence package takes 3+ days to compile because data lives in 5+ siloed systems and requires manual reconciliation.
The situation this course is for
Every cycle, control owners chase down evidence in spreadsheets, emails, and outdated portals. By the time the package is assembled, stakeholders have changed requirements or timelines shifted. The result: last-minute scrambles, version chaos, and audit delays. The heavier the transformation footprint, the worse it gets. This isn’t a people problem, it’s a workflow design failure.
Who this is for
Senior leader in a global services firm, accountable for SAP transformation outcomes with embedded risk and control requirements. Needs to deliver on time, with clean audit trails, and minimal rework. Authority to implement process fixes but not build custom software.
Who this is not for
Auditors focused only on compliance checklists, developers building control automation tools, or practitioners without ownership of end-to-end control delivery in SAP environments.
What you walk away with
- Identify the 3 root causes of evidence lag in your current control reporting workflow
- Deploy a reusable evidence collection template that cuts follow-up requests by 70%
- Automate status tracking using native SAP and GRC tools (no dev team needed)
- Standardize stakeholder review cycles to prevent last-minute changes
- Produce audit-ready control packages in under 8 hours
