eBook: Engaging Your Entire Workforce

By complying with SoD rules an organization reduces the likelihood of fraud, significantly.

Now, say someone is filling out paperwork requesting the authorization for MM01 (to create materials) – you would search for one authorization role that includes this activity (out of 50 possible options) and grant it. That’s it, right? Good job?!
