Book excerpt: This book provides Finance professionals, Treasurers, and CFOs with a roadmap for making their SAP processes compliant with SOX requirements. Combining comprehensive coverage of the major applications (Electronic Banking, Positive Pay, Cash & Liquidity Management, In-House Cash) with discussion of relevant control structures, processes, and compliance matrices for each, this book lends guidance to those tasked with integrating SOX compliance into established or proposed SAP implementations. The authors focus first on processes (e.g., intercompany processing), then expand to specific applications (e.g., In-House Cash), followed by a summary of the associated controls (e.g., domestic vs. foreign processing). Functional-level finance professionals involved in the daily management of a Treasury implementation, particularly, will find many proven processes with which to build or enhance effective compliance strategies.
