and managed approach across multiple company operations,
functions, and activities.

… which suggests a certain “call to action” for executives.
“Practical knowledge of risk management
concepts and principles are needed in the
corporate environment as never before,
and executives have created demand for this
knowledge. How this knowledge is crafted into
ERM practices, standards, and guidelines inside of
corporate policy is open for revision.”

11. SAP ERM Platform
SAP recognizes there are 3 primary reasons for ERM failure:
1 ERM is not linked to fundamental value drivers of the
business
2 Shareholder devaluation occurs based on measuring
nonproductive drivers
3 ERM is not focused significantly or deeply enough on
the broad “value-killer, fat-tail” risks

19. Audit Practices
Business Audits are gaining popularity as a risk management
function across a number of different functions including:
• Information Technology (SAS 70, SSAE 16)
• Financial Management processes (SOX 404, Dodd-Frank)
• Information Use (ITAR, security constraints)
• Sustainability (LEED, SA 8000, Natural Step, GRI)
• Assurance activities (AA 1000)
• Quality Management processes (ISO 9000, CAPA, APQP)
• Environmental Management processes (ISO 14000)
• Product Compliance Regulations (ROHS, REACH, ELV)
• Treasury Management and Currency Exchange (SWIFT)
Audits are not just for IT system management anymore!

20. Audit Practices
Regardless of the business function or processes, most agree the
audit format contains several common stages and activities.

21. Audit Practices
SAP NetWeaver’s audit management allows full program life
cycle management for internal audit activities, including:
• Information Technology
• Management Systems, and
• Financial Operations

As part of the SAP NetWeaver platform, SAP audit management ships
NetWeaver’s audit management connects with the SAP NetWeaver
seamlessly with specific SAP modules such as platform as part of the SAP
BusinessSuite 7.0 release
• SAP ERP Project System
• SAP ERP HCM
• SAP Risk Management

BusinessObjects GRC 10.0 release!

In this example we can associate an
Accounts Payable audit with both
financial operations and even
treasury risks if involving foreign
currencies and operating units.

23. Audit Practices
• During the execution stage of an audit,
work papers often suggest corrective
or preventive actions in real time.
• SAP NetWeaver audit management
allows you to identify these work
papers and capture remediation
actions on the fly so that these can be
automatically summarized in the
findings report.
BusinessObjects Access Control and SAP BusinessObjects Process Control can be used to
allow the audit team to have access to in-process documents and records without making
this information available to the other members of an organization, until such time as it is
formally published.

25. Functional Risk Management
Functional Risk Management can look at many areas, including
supply chain disruptions due to disasters, business continuity, and
sociopolitical risk…

… which can then roll-up and into a broader ERM program
environment, providing transparency and proactive management.
SAP BusinessObjects Supply Chain Performance Management 2.0, which is
now in ramp-up, allows for supply chain risks to be mapped to RM10 as
part of an overall ERM program portfolio. These risks can also be associated
with key risk indicators (KRIs) which can impact financial and operational
performance targets.

27. Functional Risk Management
The Supply Chain Council Supply Chain Risk Perspective
SCOR model includes a Supply Chain Council SCOR Model
supply chain risk perspective
(SCRP) which pre-defines risk
categories which are
common to an Enterprise
Risk Management program.
The SCOR model and the
SCRP framework is
structured already inside
SCPM 2.0. SAP has earned
several awards from the
Supply Chain Council for this
solution approach.

32. Key Take-away Points
1. There is a great need for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) – and a lot of
confusion as to what this means. This creates significant opportunity for
SAP and its partners.
2. SAP Risk Management 10.0 offers a great platform to build, manage, and
assess the effectiveness of an ERM program
3. As part of mitigation activities, organizations are looking towards audits to
build these actions into their ERM programs. SAP NetWeaver Audit
Management offers easy to use connections into RM10 and other GRC tools.
4. Functional risk management allows deeper dives into specific
processes, functions and operational activities in the organization.
5. SAP Supply Chain Performance Management 2.0 – now in ramp up –
allows for quick integration to RM10 risk activities while leveraging
the Supply Chain Council SCOR model and SCRP framework.
