The SAP system has a set of reports that can be used to support Audit tasks, some of the standard reports that are available in SAP are:
Policy Listings
• It is a very complete report that can be filtered by type of policy, allowing you to extract from this report lists of Invoices, Payments, Collections, Credit Notes, Transfers, Inventory Movements and Fixed Assets.
Number of Documents Generated in a Period
• This is a report that few people know about and that allows us to get an idea of the volume of documents for a period of time and that can be used to determine the size of an Audit sample.
Duplicate Invoices
• This report is very useful and effective because it allows errors to be detected in most cases.
Modifications to Master Data
• This report may seem complex and cause confusion if it is not used correctly.
• It is recommended to apply filters by key fields, for example, filters to bank data, to detect if someone is misusing them in supplier accounts.
Consecutive Missing Folios in Invoices and Orders in a Period of Time
• This report may cause surprises, since most of the time we think that the system is untouchable and there is no way in which there are missing pages in the different types of policies that exist.
Threshold Violation
• There are several versions of the violation of Thresholds, it is possible to have an analysis for account balances, or an analysis for amounts in policies.
Segregation of functions
• This report, whose source is Access Control, allows a detailed analysis of the risks in access to SAP.
Differences in Inventory
• This report shows the resulting differences in physical inventories.
The above are some of the reports that can be used in SAP for Audit purposes.
