Let's get started with PART 1.
In today’s business landscape, ensuring compliance and safeguarding financial systems against fraud and errors are critical objectives for organizations. One of the key practices to achieve this is implementing Segregation of Duties (SOD)—a control measure that prevents a single individual from managing multiple critical tasks within a business process.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO) provides a tool to help organizations analyze and manage SOD risks effectively. By leveraging its built-in security framework, role-based access controls, and analytical capabilities, businesses can identify potential conflicts and enforce appropriate control measures to maintain compliance.
Segregation of Duties Rules
D365FO includes a framework for defining and enforcing SOD rules. These rules specify which combinations of duties are considered incompatible and must not be assigned to the same user. For example:
Conflict Example: A user assigned to both "Maintain Vendor Invoices" and "Approve Vendor Invoices" duties creates a risk of unauthorized transactions.
The list of these conflicts forms?Segregation of Duties (SOD) Framework. It's also known as SOD ruleset. Administrators can run diagnostics to identify violations to support compliance with regulatory standards such as SOX.
