The Power of Risk, Compliance & Security Management in SAP S/4HANA
OUR AGENDA Key Learnings Observations on Risk & Compliance Management Current State Current Challenges The SAP GRC and Security Solution Domains Best Practices: Three Lines of Defense SAP S/4HANA Platform Context Continuous Control Monitoring & Fraud Detection Comprehensive Risk Insight Unfettered Audit Management Closing Thoughts
3 KEY LEARNING POINTS A complete, current and accurate view of all risks across all data can be achieved in SAP S/4HANA SAP S/4HANA allows on-demand risk, compliance and security status queries requiring any number and type of complex calculations or analytical functions Improved response quality and timeliness aided by live alerts and confident evidence drives down the cost and effort of risk and security management
OBSERVATIONS ON THE CURRENT STATE Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is increasing in complexity. Alongside pressures from the business to improve effectiveness, this is a significant challenge for GRC professionals. Control failure is the second biggest risk to organizations over the next two years, after competition. The biggest consequences of not getting it right are loss of revenue, reputational damage, and business disruption. GRC tools, technologies and processes are seen as insufficient. Most organizations are taking a reactive and fragmented approach and haven t recently overhauled their GRC approach or technologies. GRC professionals are frustrated by poor visibility and lack of integration of risk and control frameworks, time spent reconciling documents, difficulties accessing and using data, and inability to use data for predictive purposes. Organizations see the ability to manage risk effectively has an impact on profitability. They are focused on improving consistency, identifying risks earlier, driving down costs, and increasing strategic value. They see the value of continuous controls monitoring and recognize that GRC approaches must evolve to add value to the business. SAP Managing Risk in an Age of Complexity July 2015
OBSERVATIONS ON CURRENT CHALLENGES One third of organizations can fully quantify & qualify real cost of control and compliance, current and future risks, lost opportunities and impact of effectively managing risk on profitability Despite difficulties in measuring, 74% see the ability to manage risk effectively has an impact on profitability Risk management is seen by 62% as a growing operational & financial burden to the business Consequences of current inconsistent approaches and of not leveraging newer technologies for GRC include increased exposure to risk (43%) a lack of confidence that all risks are captured (38%), and operational complexity (38%) 63% maintain that it is difficult to achieve single version of the truth to drive better decision making 46% of GRC related data that an organization has access to is being used for strategic planning SAP Managing Risk in an Age of Complexity July 2015

LIVE FRAUD DETECTION IN SAP S/4 HANA Scan high volumes of data for potential fraud Traditional Approach With SAP S/4HANA Review data & down load to Microsoft Excel Run vendor reports Run customer reports Microsoft Excel access Run employee reports Manual With traditional approaches Manual consolidation of data, risking errors Disparate sources of data made it difficult to detect patterns No automated evaluation, requiring reliance on individual knowledge Lack of consolidated reporting and evaluation of the financial implications of fraud Traditional With SAP S/4HANA Process excellence With SAP S/4HANA Top-down and bottom-up evaluation of data Configuration of rules to document expert knowledge Use of predictive models to detect patterns Predictive, interactive, real-time performance analysis Enablement of automated mitigation responses to fraud
MANAGE RISK COMPREHENSIVELY Continuous insight into business and security risks Use case Research conducted by SAP indicates that GRC is increasing in complexity. Alongside pressures from the business to prove effectiveness, this is creating significant challenges for GRC and IT professionals. Continuous monitoring of key risk indicators can enable decision making that prevents or minimizes material loss or incidents by prompting timely action on these early warning signals. Unique value of SAP S/4HANA Identify and analyze on an ongoing basis precursors of risk events anywhere in the business Flag patterns, trends, variances & correlations that signal the occurrence of a risk event Anticipate issues involving unacceptable risk levels & take preventive action Top features Cross-system monitoring of risk indicators Provision of early warning indicators before risks occur Analysis and notification of risk trends Business innovations Real-time alerts of unacceptable risk thresholds Decision making that prevents unacceptable risk events Continuous assessment of response effectiveness Solutions SAP Process Control SAP Risk Management SAP Audit Management Quantifiable value Reduced losses with current status views Reduced unplanned variances in performance Reduced time in responding to risk events
