Case Study: Leading Cosmetics and Beauty Products Company achieves timely audit compliance during SAP GRC rollout with ERP Maestro's Access Analyzer

How a Global Cosmetics Company Met Increased Audit Requirements during an SAP GRC Implementation with Access Analyzer

Leading Cosmetics and Beauty Products Company faced an urgent year-end audit requiring detailed SAP access controls and utilization data requested by external auditors, while its SAP GRC implementation would not be ready in time. To meet tighter 2015 audit requirements without an automated tool, the company turned to ERP Maestro’s Access Analyzer for rapid, audit-ready reporting.

ERP Maestro implemented its cloud-based Access Analyzer Reporting Plan in under 30 minutes, delivering executive Segregation of Duties and utilization reports (including the User Conflict Matrix and BPO Conflict reports) that the audit team used to document access, utilization and mitigating controls. The targeted, accurate data satisfied external auditors, reduced internal workload (auditors began using the tool themselves when the team got busy), and allowed the company to complete the year-end audit on schedule while continuing the SAP GRC rollout.
