Success Stories:
Built a tool that performs the data analysis supporting the Segregation of Duties (SOD) analysis and user access review for the QAD ERP system. It identifies sensitive access by user, users who no longer need access, and those with conflicting duties, supporting the Controller and CFO in assessing risks associated with user access in QAD in minutes not hours with pinpoint accuracy.
Compiled a knowledge base that included the ISO, ERP, and SOX knowledge needed for the company to implement a SOX-compliant inventory cycle count process. The resulting process design empowered the operations team to lead the process, maintaining ISO and SOX compliance with a counting and monitoring strategy that allowed for efficient counts and effectively managed inventory risks going forward.
