Due Week 8 and worth 100 points
Imagine that you are the Chief Financial Officer of a publically traded
retail company (e.g., Target). You are required to follow SarbanesOxley Act (SOX) for your financial reporting. You need to ensure that
your company passes external independent audits every year for your
quarterly reports. You are considering using an ERP system to
accomplish your goal.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Explain what SOX requires of the information systems for a
publically traded company.
Explain how a vendor ERP system such as Oracle ERP financial
module helps the company meet the SOX requirements.
Determine the inputs, transformations, outputs, and key processes of
the ERP financial module.
Create a diagram to show how the inputs, transformations, outputs,
and key process of the ERP financial module interact with sales and
supply chain systems of the company through the use of graphical
tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as
Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the
required page length.
