Abstract

By understanding the risks most commonly associated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation and appropriately leveraging their core skill sets, internal auditors can become important members of the organization's strategic ERP implementation team. While it is management's responsibility to carry out an ERP adoption, internal auditors must be proactive about their contributions to the process. The internal audit department's in-depth knowledge of risk and control can be extremely valuable in helping decision-makers assess whether an ERP is a logical choice for the organization. The internal audit shop can help determine the degree to which relevant employees, from top to bottom, have bought into the changeover.
