Currently Being Moderated A service-oriented architecture (SOA) enables loosely coupled applications to be assembled from a set of internal and external services that are distributed over a connected infrastructure.

Preparation: RSECNOTE EarlyWatch report to automatically check for SAP security notes - SAP Security. Over time SAP has released a number of OSS notes to fix security issues within the SAP system. The only problem is how to easily know what these are and whether you need to implemented them into your system. Well that’s where the SAP early watch alert report comes in. This report checks your system for security relevant notes and outputs a brief description of each issue, the note number which fixes it, how this note can be implemented and whether it has already been applied to your system.

The specific notes checked by this report is controlled online by SAP via an RFC call. Therefore if new security notes become available these will be included without any need to update your SAP system further. In order to use the SAP earlyWatch report you simply need to implement note 888889 via transaction SNOTE. Once note 888889 has been implemented execute transaction ST13, enter RSECNOTE into the Tool name and press execute. Return to SAP Security main menu. SOX: Potential changes in the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting.

As I open my email these days, I see people suggesting that we are about to enter a new era of assessments for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404). Some are excited; some are in despair. Some are keen to jump on a new bandwagon and sell seats at classes on assessing internal control over financial reporting using COSO 2013 (COSO is preparing to issue an update of its 1992 landmark Internal Control Framework). Others are lamenting the advent of a checklist-approach to SOX assessment that they believe is implicit in the drafts of COSO 2013. A few continue their quixotic attempts to brand the COSO Internal Control Framework (ICF) as inept, preferring a totally different approach. So let me see if I can bring some sanity to this excited confusion. In my opinion, the 1992 ICF provides a reasonable basis for SOX assessments. Those who criticize COSO ICF as failing should look, not to any defect in the framework, but to defects in its use – by external auditors and those influenced by them.
