SOX compliance on SAP fails not because controls are missing, but because they exist on paper and not in operation. We design ITGCs and application controls that actually run, evidence them automatically, and stand up to PCAOB scrutiny without rebuilding the framework every quarter. No SAP relationship, no audit firm conflict.
Whether you are responding to a deficiency, modernizing a mature SOX estate, or preparing for first year as a SEC registrant, our SAP SOX work spans four pillars from control design through external audit walkthrough.
We design SAP IT general controls covering change management, access management, computer operations, and program development with control activities tied to actual SAP transactions and tables.
We define and test application controls inside SAP including configuration controls, automated controls, and key reports, mapped to financial statement assertions and management review controls.
We deploy automated evidence collection so that controls produce reviewable artifacts on every cycle without manual screenshots or end of quarter scrambles.
We support the external audit walkthrough directly, defending control design and operating effectiveness with documentation that PCAOB inspections recognize as sufficient.
Whether you are remediating a deficiency or preparing for first year SOX as a new registrant, our engagements follow the same five phases.
Confidential scoping of SOX significant processes, SAP systems, and the control universe that supports financial reporting.
ITGC and application control design tied to risks, assertions, and SAP configuration realities.
Design and operating effectiveness testing across ITGCs and application controls with documented evidence.
Automated evidence collection and continuous testing on a quarterly cadence with audit ready output.
External audit walkthrough support, deficiency response, and audit committee briefing as required.
Across more than sixty SAP SOX engagements with SEC registrants and pre IPO companies, our consulting work delivers consistent outcomes that finance, internal audit, and the audit committee can rely on.

SAPAudits designed the ITGCs, tested operating effectiveness, automated the evidence, and walked our external audit team through the framework. We closed first year with no SAP deficiencies and a sustainable program."
Control activity design across change management, access, operations, and program development for SOX significant SAP systems.
Application control inventory, key report integrity testing, and configuration control coverage for SOX compliance.
