Abstract

Most observers would agree that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) is the single most important piece of legislation affecting corporate governance, financial disclosure and the practice of public accounting. On the other hand, the SAP system is the most widely used ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system in the world. There are thousands of seamlessly linked components and subsystems. Conducting security tests in a complicated ERP system is still a major challenge. Based on the study of the SAP system configuration security testing at the author’s company, this work-in-progress paper will discuss related configuration security weakness in SAP system and suggest practical solutions to enhance the security control of SAP to comply with SOA.
