////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// “Epicor ERP has helped us minimise fraud by enabling forensic analysis of all transactions and stock control,” he said. “It allows our managers to spot suspicious behaviour and ensures there is always a trail for audit purposes. It has afforded us much more procedural transparency and reporting.” Ruvesh Remduth, Finance Manager, Bakers S.A. Limited, added: “Fraud mitigation is possible due to management controls. Validation for transactions being processed takes place against predefined criteria set via www.intelligentcio.com FEATURE: TAILORED ERP vehicle listings, inventory parts, cost centres, serial numbers for tyres and prices. If an identified item is not validated, the system will require senior management intervention before the transaction can proceed. “If an unrecognised validation occurs, then Epicor reporting and auditing tools are used alongside supporting documentation. This eliminates the need to involve extensive back and forth between company stakeholders, as all the information needed can be extracted within the system to solve any mysteries.” Abdool Kader Tayob, Chief Executive, Bakers S.A.
