Segregation of Duties in the Real World: Risk-Based SoD Management With Continuous Monitoring Lowers Compliance Costs

Tags:
security standards

Overview Segregation of duties in the real world demands top-down management that eliminates financial risk without adding overhead costs or extinguishing ERP-fueled efficiency gains of the last decade. Fortunately, auditors and government regulators are moving beyond simple checklists of mandates to advocate a risk-based approach to SOX compliance and internal controls. This is great news for finance executives and compliance managers who can lead their companies to reduce compliance costs while accomplishing the ultimate goal of SOX - financial integrity. This white paper highlights the challenges to managing segregation of duties, builds a case for risk-based SoD management, and discusses technology solutions for continuous monitoring that deliver affordable and effective SOX compliance.
