Learning objective

Create evidence across submission, approval, baseline freeze, change and tracking.

Roles

Finance, process owners, key users, IT, consultants and internal audit

Prerequisites

  • Confirm entity, period, currency, masters and access.
  • Prepare approved normal and exception data.
  • Define approvals, cut-off and change control.

Completion checks

  • Results trace to source and accountable role.
  • Quantity, amount, period and status are reviewable.
  • Exceptions retain cause, approval, action and closure evidence.

Common errors

  • Overwriting history and losing traceability.
  • No segregation of duties.
  • Testing only normal flow.

Thailand project note

Thai implementations should confirm Thai/English masters, THB and foreign currencies, Asia/Bangkok time, segregation, approvals and local retention. This covers ERP management controls only; VAT, WHT, BOI, customs and statutory-accounting conclusions require qualified Thai professional review.
