FINANCIAL REPORTING
FREE + Express Shipping
Financial reporting is the basis for financial reports. If our data in financial reporting matches the official Balance Sheet, P&L and Trial Balance, we have confidence that our data set matches our official reporting.
The most important aspect of financial reporting is the bank reconciliation. If our general ledger matches the reports and if all of our bank transactions match the general ledger, then we gain confidence that our data matches the real-world transactions.
Fraud in financial reporting is usually done by top management and is therefore normally quite rare. However, it is also usually of a much higher financial value than other frauds, such as fixed asset misuse, bribery or theft.
FIXED ASSETS
FREE + Express Shipping
Fixed assets are often used as a vector for bribes. If your company has hundreds of company cars in the car park, it's not that difficult to offer one to a potential customer to borrow.
In terms of pure theft, misclassified fixed assets that are written down much quicker than one would expect, for example, a building that is classified as a car, may be sold-on by staff without management being alerted that there was an asset write-off at a loss.
Assets that are purchased and written down at a loss the next day should be noticed immediately. Those looking to decrease cost, or hide luxurious assets, may be tempted to delay the depreciation start date, until they have left the entity.
ORDER TO CASH
FREE + Express Shipping
Risks in Order To Cash run from delivery of large numbers of free products that then find themselves on the black market, to customers that are paid for fictitious year-end rebates or returns.
The risks will depend on the business. Corruption risk-levels will depend on the host country. For example, in some host countries, CEOs can risk prison due to granting extremely long payment terms to customers in return for repeat business, as this can be seen as an unfair commercial advantage.
Customer due diligence is often an area that is overlooked, but customer accounts can be used to channel through illegitimate payments or net-off balances to other third-parties. Such customers may lurk in tax havens. Interception of customer receivables can sometimes be found by identifying lapping schemes.

The books will also give you background knowledge concerning why and how data analytics are used, as well as a framework, that you can use to map must-have data analytics to your existing audit plan or internal control plan.
Furthermore, the books contain the key technical information on SAP that you can use in order to help your team get the necessary data and have the knowledge required to start analysing it correctly.

USER ACCESS
User access is not that easy to control in SAP due to the complexity of the user access tables and the tables that log actions, such as approbations or price changes. Companies will typically spend a lot of money buying SAP GRC or paying consultants to compute who has access to what in their SAP system.
The reason for this is that a user with too much access can use the SAP system to realize a whole host of fraud scenarios, without anyone noticing. It is also interesting to be able to check who actually did what. For example, the same user that enters a zero-value sales order and processes the delivery for that same order. Such a situation can fuel a parallel business.

INVENTORY
FREE + Express Shipping
Inventory receipts may be overestimated to support higher than expected invoices in return for a kickback. Goods issues may be redirected to a parallel business. Goods in transit that never arrive at their destination (or arrive very late) may also get used elsewhere. Inventory theft will typically be covered up by adjustments.Â
Staff may be used to making adjustments for broken stock or missing stock, and before long, a few extra adjustments may become the norm, in order to support a side-business. The key to controlling inventory is the numbering in the materials master data.
However, more often than not, materials master data is quite messy, making comparative controls on pricing/ between suppliers/ overtime/ between purchases and sales difficult for head-office.

PURCHASE TO PAYÂ
FREE + Express Shipping
Purchase-to-pay is an absolute must-have control area. Most companies start by controlling this area and ignore the rest, which is not good, but if you aren’t controlling purchasing with data analytics, you know you better remedy the situation quickly!
Within the purchasing process are all the classic very well known controls concerning fictitious suppliers, purchase orders that avoid approbation limits, prices that are way above market values, invoices that don’t have purchase orders or that are duplicated and payments that are too high, made too early or made to the wrong third-party, etc.

There may be many reasons why a supplier appears more than once in your database, and some of these reasons might be legitimate. So why would someone enter the same supplier in your database, multiple times, but with a different supplier number? One reason, could be to avoid controls around the supplier ageing balance.Â
Human resources are often tucked away in their own secluded office because they handle sensitive data. However, that data must also be controlled because there are many ways to cheat in human resources, especially if there are thousands of employees in the entity. For example, the employee that just left the organisation may not be removed from the payroll immediately.Â
The workers that you are getting from the agency might all be doing 80-hour weeks for years on end. Human resources data can be compared to non-SAP data, such as building access logs, Windows Active Directory logs.Â
Other ways to detect such situations include identifying staff members that appear to have the same bank account, despite not being married. However, this test requires the HR manager or payroll manager to use the same bank account number that they use for their own salary payments, which most of them would probably not do, in order to avoid detection.
What are others saying about Data Analytics Data Series?
"I was desperately looking for a solution to import extraction from one accounting software into another one. I was thinking about changing software or hiring a full-time accountant: both of which are costly and time consuming. So I had nothing to lose to try this. I send my request on the website. At the end of the day, I received some very powerful comments and questions. 24-hours after I sent the query, 90% of the job was done and I was confident that it was possible to do 100%. We continued to work together the whole week and it was really nice to work with Claire as she understood really deeply what I needed... I'm so happy that I'm considering the other services provided by the company as it seems to be really helpful for managers. " - Maelle Jarlier, Centre Medical International
