Audit findings that require rework due to misaligned control evidence in P2P systems

The situation this course is for

Teams keep submitting evidence packages that fail early review because security controls aren't mapped precisely to SAP transaction points. This leads to repeated requests, delays in sign-off, and weakened credibility with internal assessors.

Who this is for

Mid-senior compliance and process leads in global services firms who own end-to-end P2P or SAP MM delivery and are accountable for audit readiness

Who this is not for

Entry-level consultants, pure IT security analysts without SAP process exposure, or teams focused exclusively on non-procurement domains like logistics or HR

What you walk away with

  • Produce audit-ready control evidence for ISO 27001 A.8, A.12, and A.14 directly from SAP MM data
  • Structure SoA narratives that map procurement activities to information security clauses
  • Reduce evidence rework by aligning control testing with actual P2P transaction flows
  • Deliver consistent documentation that survives auditor follow-ups
  • Use templates to replicate compliance across future SAP engagements
