As organizations increasingly rely on Coupa for business spend management, ensuring strong Segregation of Duties (SoD) and effective access reviews has become critical. With rising regulatory scrutiny and expanding SaaS environments, risk managers must take proactive steps to identify, assess, and mitigate access-related risks.
What Actions Can Risk Managers Start Taking Now?
To build a strong SoD framework, risk managers should begin by collaborating with:
- Business teams
- Process owners
- Managers and subject matter experts
The goal is to identify key, high-risk, high-level business activities across the organization that are most relevant to SoD.
For example, vendor master data management is widely considered a high-risk Procure-to-Pay (P2P) area across most organizations.
Focus on Critical Systems and Configurations
Risk assessments should start with critical configurations within:
- Accounts Payable
- Procurement systems
- ERP and spend management platforms such as SAP, Coupa, and Oracle
From there, organizations should conduct business process walkthroughs and scope assessments to identify more granular access risks. Begin with the highest-risk areas first, then progressively move to lower-risk processes.
