Webinar: SAPInsider - State of the Market GRC in SAP Environments - Benchmark Research

APOS is pleased to be involved with this SAPInsider webinar which highlights GRC trends, as well as organizational gaps.

One of the key gaps discussed in the webinar is financial governance, with only 13% of respondents to the research survey reporting fully integrated financial systems with risk and compliance data. The risks inherent in manual, non-integrated financial reporting processes are significant and should be addresses with the addition of reporting automation and orchestration.

SAPInsider Webinar

On Wednesday, December 10, SAPInsider is hosting a webinar on GRC in SAP environments with these key takeaways:

• Organizations are increasingly automating GRC processes (60%) and centralizing control workflows (53%) to enhance efficiency and visibility amid rising regulatory complexities.
• While 80% of respondents identify themselves at Level 3 GRC maturity, few have achieved Level 4, where GRC becomes enterprise-wide, indicating areas for development.
• Most organizations are integrating SAP GRC solutions with third-party technologies, such as Pathlock and Saviynt, to strengthen their risk management and compliance strategies.

The webinar is based on SAPInsider's State of the Market GRC research report and hosted by Susan Galbraith, the report's author.

The Expanding Scope of GRC - Financial Reporting & APOS Publisher for Cloud

Governance, risk, and compliance in financial reporting will become more critical as organizations ramp up their efforts to automate financial close processes and other financial reporting use cases.

According to the research report:

"Only 13% of organizations have fully automated financial close processes, with 47% still partially automated. Integration between financial systems and risk compliance data is limited (13%)."

In order to reach Level 3 in SAPInsider's GRC maturity model, organizations need to integrate GRC into business processes, have formal governance structures in place, perform regular risk assessments, and use enabling technologies. Only with such GRC integration can they achieve consistent reporting that supports decisionmaking.

Financial reporting without adequate integration with GRC initiatives runs greater risks around compliance, segregation of duties and audit readiness. Indeed, audit fatigue within finance departments creates significant risk of human error and poor data integrity.

APOS Publisher for Cloud's financial report broadcasting orchestration capabilities can help your organization avoid audit fatigue and attain centralized control over your financial report generation, report generation, scheduling, broadcasting and monitoring in a single centralized workflow.
