SAP Audit in Chester
A review of a Chester organisation's SAP estate, where authorisations are usually the finding that matters most. Segregation of duties is a real control here: a user able to both create a supplier and release a payment to it is a fraud exposure, and access accumulated over years of role changes produces exactly those combinations.
Why this comes up
The problem
Access was granted as people changed jobs and never removed, and nobody can say who could currently pay a supplier they invented.

SAP Audit in Chester — common questions
- Why is segregation of duties the priority?
- Because the combinations are what create exposure, and they are invisible when roles are reviewed one at a time. Each role can look reasonable while the set assigned to one person allows a complete cycle to be executed without anyone else involved.
- How does access accumulate?
- Through job changes. People are given what a new role needs without the old access being withdrawn, and after a few moves the result is an authorisation profile nobody designed. Reviewing periodically is the only realistic correction.
- What about emergency access?
- It should exist, be time-limited and be reviewed after use. Firefighting access granted permanently to avoid the process is common and it defeats the control entirely, since the exception becomes the standing arrangement nobody re-examines.
- Is an audit worth doing before a migration?
- Very much so. Custom code volume drives migration cost more than any other factor, and usage data typically shows a large share of it is dead — which is a discount on the programme available to anyone willing to measure before estimating.
- Do you work with businesses across Cheshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Chester and the surrounding Cheshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Chester businesses do you usually work with?
- Compliance-heavy systems for financial services firms, and cross-border trading setups for businesses working into Wales. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Tourism & Heritage, Retail, Professional Services and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Chester?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Liverpool, Manchester, Wrexham. Chester is an urban area of roughly 120,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cheshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
