Effective Segregation of Duties (SoD) is critical to safeguarding your organization against fraud, errors, and compliance breaches. By clearly defining roles and responsibilities, SoD ensures that no single individual has control over critical tasks within an ERP system. With ThirdLine’s SoD solution, your organization can maintain accountability, reduce financial risks, and comply with government regulations.
Without proper role definitions, employees may be assigned conflicting tasks, such as both approving and processing payments, increasing the risk of fraud or errors.
With thousands of permissions available in an ERP system, it becomes difficult to understand what each one does and how they interact
If organizations don’t continuously monitor user activities, conflicting roles or access privileges can go unnoticed, allowing for unchecked actions within the ERP system.
Organizations without formalized SoD policies often lack clear guidelines on who should perform specific tasks, leading to a breakdown in internal controls and increased risk of compliance breaches.
Why Segregation of Duties Matters
Without proper segregation of duties, individuals may have too much control over critical processes, making it easier for them to commit fraud.
A lack of role separation can lead to non-compliance with regulatory standards, resulting in findings in audits.
When roles and access are not properly segregated, your system is more vulnerable to cyber threats, as unauthorized users may gain access to sensitive data or functions.
When roles aren’t clearly defined, it becomes difficult to track who is responsible for specific actions, leading to inefficiencies and errors.
