ERP Assurance

Navigating through risk confidently

Investing in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology entails significant cost to companies and leads to significant risks if not managed properly. The increasing complexity of ERP’s software applications adds to the risk of security threats, with evolving technology, new functionality, and web-based solutions. PwC’s ERP Assurance practice combines cross-sector, cross-application experience to help you mitigate risk and improve your ERP systems.

Top issues you may be facing

Usually ERPs are empty containers that are configured based on business requirements. Software providers are technical and cannot advise on industry practices from a compliance and audit perspective. As a result:

  • ERPs are implemented with major loopholes in terms of processes and controls;
  • Functionalities are not optimised;
  • Be more reactive to business needs resulting in additional cost post implementation.
