If your interest or job function includes ensuring internal and external Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in a Finance or Treasury environment, this book is for you. In addition to providing a roadmap for making your treasury processes compliant with SOX requirements, it will help you understand the major SAP Treasury & Risk Management applications (Electronic Banking, Positive Pay, Cash Management & Liquidity, In-House Cash), with discussion of relevant control structures, processes, and compliance matrices for each.
The authors give you a "macro to micro" look at the compliance spectrum, focusing first on the processes (i.e. intercompany processing), then expanding the discussion to incorporate information on the specific applications and tools (i.e. In-House Cash), followed by a summary of the associated controls (i.e. domestic vs. foreign processing). This approach allows the book to be modular, in the sense that individual chapters can be used on an ad hoc basis as reference or tutorial as necessary during the course of an implementation. As the authors are high-level practitioners, the book includes numerous examples at both the macro and micro level, making it appropriate for a variety of audiences.
