Gartner Research Paper (November 2012) Transaction Controls Monitoring Can Improve Productivity and Financial Governance “ERP and financial applications have built-in internal controls with simple gated logic. However, the existence of these built-in automated controls does not ensure that they are turned on, that they are configured appropriately, and that they are not regularly overridden or bypassed— thus establishing the need for a solution that can monitor these controls.”

Advanced Controls Example Prevent “vendor” payments to an employee account Find frequently returned goods or expedited deliveries Restrict users’ access to create & approve requisitions (e.g. non-catalog items) Detect multiple transactions that in reality comprise a single PO (i.e.“split-PO”) Requisition Purchase Goods/Services ReceiveGoods/Services Invoice Issue Payments Standard ERP Control: Only assign certain users ability to approve requisitions Standard ERP Control: Always require approval for PO’s over $5,000 Standard ERP Control: Perform 3-way match Standard ERP Control: Do not assign same user ability to create vendors and approve payments Advanced Controls: Apply the tenet of “least privilege”, limiting users’ access to essential menus, functions, pages Advanced Controls: Identify attempts to circumvent standard controls Advanced Controls: Evaluate vendor performance to standards Advanced Controls: Early detection of potential payments to illegal vendors

Oxbow CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE “We selected Oracle Governance, Risk, and Compliance Controls Suite because it goes hand-in-hand with the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 implementation process that we’re executing. Together, they are the most flexible and robust out-of the-box solution available and are instrumental in helping to create and modify various rules and controls to suit our business needs.” Manager of Internal Audit After • Solution: • Automate continuous monitoring of ERP controls during EBS implementation • Detect and prevent inappropriate user access • Results: Increased visibility into controls environment across multiple ERP systems. Instilled a preventive approach regarding inappropriate user access. • Situation: Oxbow Carbon, focused on growth, has gone through numerous acquisitions in recent years. • Challenge: The company was running 13 distinct enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which limited visibility of critical business information and created IT governance challenges. • Before
Parexel Case Study After • No visibility into inter-role conflicts and enforce access security policies • Manually SOD monitoring done through documentation and check lists • Unable to ensure OFAC compliance • Inability to validate suppliers against OFAC watchlist and monitor transactions in P2P process • Before • Identified riskiest policies and conflicts • Implemented 25-40 different controls and SOD rules • Automated OFAC compliance by tracking transactions against SDN listing • New process step in supplier setup makes supplier inactive until the supplier check on the OFAC watchlist is completed • Improved health and confidence in P2P process
