AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

Have you seen any customer using AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls, simultaneously for Audit purposes? Can we use the GRC Process Controls for Scheduling regular Audits, inaddition to the Internal Control Assessments?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Swarna,

Have you seen any customer using AIS (Audit Information Systems) and Process controls, simultaneously for Audit purposes? 

Yes. AIS is purely in SAP users and authorizations, and PC can be used at different levels.

Can we use the GRC Process Controls for Scheduling regular Audits, inaddition to the Internal Control Assessments?

The data from the PC is used in the ICAs. So PC itself can't/may not provide all the information that is required by the auditors.

Thanks Raghu.

How is AIS different from SAP Audit managment (from the functionality point of view)?

Hi Swarna,

As mentioned AIS is a piece that mostly deals with authorizations and rights, but SAP audit management is a whole which deals with every function in the system.
