Security, Controls & Compliance Products for Oracle E-Business Suite

Auditing

CS*Audit

Monitoring changes to master data, such as bank accounts and suppler details, can draw attention to unexpected activity that might need further investigation. Similarly, monitoring unusual transactions can give early warning of fraudulent behaviour or inadvertent error.

Oracle E-Business Suite does have the facility to audit all changes to selected tables, but it does not allow you to choose exactly which data and transactions should audited – so if you need to examine the audit file, you may end up having to sift through masses of irrelevant data.  There is also no standard audit reporting to help you identify unusual or suspicious events.

CS*Audit gives you a suite of tools that enables you to define and implement your audit policies within minutes and without coding. You may decide, for example, that you only want to audit invoices over a certain value. You can also specify that certain people should be automatically notified of particular events – for example, if a supplier’s bank account details are changed.

It gives you an intuitive reporting facility to provide meaningful information and screens that allow business users to drill down into the detail - and you won't need to rewrite your reports when the system is upgraded.

These tools give you the evidence you need to investigate issues and account for the state of your critical and sensitive data and answer your auditors’ questions.

Features include:

User friendly auditing

No special skills of any kind are needed. Anyone with access to Oracle E-Business Suite can setup his or her auditing solution in minutes.

Transactional data auditing

You can choose to audit specific updates for a single column or all transactions for dozens of column – the choice is yours.

Fine grained auditing

Audit a single column in exceptional conditions or hundreds of columns in all conditions. For example, you may only want to audit transactions that take place within a specific responsibility.

Pre-seeded audit policies

We can supply a set of over 100 predefined audit policies, developed by experienced auditors.

Automatic notifications

When you set up your auditing rules, you can specify a person or group of people who will be notified in the case of certain changes/transactions
