Audit Service

Independent SAP Audit Service

Diagnosis. Roadmap. Confidence.

Before you fix a problem, you need to understand it. Our independent SAP audits assess the health of your systems — across any modules. Finance, supply chain, manufacturing, HR, or all of the above. No sales pressure. Just honest diagnosis and a clear path forward.

What we audit

Any SAP module. The whole system, or the part that worries you.

Our consulting goes deep on planning and manufacturing. Our audit is deliberately broader — a comprehensive health check across every module you run, and the integration points between them.

Finance & Commercial

Period close, cost flows, order-to-cash, and procure-to-pay — are the numbers the business runs on actually right?

Finance (FI/CO)Sales & Distribution (SD)Materials Management (MM)

Manufacturing & Plant

Planning, quality, and maintenance — configured as designed, and delivering what the business case promised?

Production Planning (PP)Quality Management (QM)Plant Maintenance (PM)

Planning, People & Shop Floor

Business planning, workforce, and the MES integration that decides whether the shop floor and the plan agree.

Integrated Business Planning (IBP)Human Capital Management (HCM)MES integration with SAP
Data quality & master data

Across all modules — BOMs, materials, vendors, customers, hierarchies.

Process gaps & integration points

Where work leaves the system, and where modules quietly disagree.

Compliance & validation readiness

Controls, audit trails, and the evidence a regulator or auditor will ask for.

How it works

Four weeks from first interview to remediation roadmap

A fixed, time-boxed diagnosis. You know the effort up front and you know exactly what you'll have at the end.

1

Week 1 — Deep dive

We sit with your team. Data collection across the modules in scope. Structured interviews with the people who live in the system every day.

2

Weeks 2–3 — Analysis

Current-state assessment against how SAP should behave for your operation. Root cause diagnosis — not a list of symptoms.

3

Week 4 — Roadmap

Remediation roadmap delivered and walked through with your leadership. A 30–60 day action plan with estimated effort for each item.

4

Then — you decide

The roadmap is yours. Fix it in-house, bring in your SI, or ask us. There is no implementation attached to the audit.

Output: a confidential written report

Findings, root causes, and recommendations prioritized by business impact — so the first thing you fix is the thing that's costing you the most.

When to audit

The moments when an independent view pays for itself

System performance unclear

Nobody can say with confidence which modules are working, which are worked around, and which are quietly ignored.

Post-go-live

The project closed, the SI left, and you need an objective assessment of what you actually have — not the handover deck.

Planning a migration or upgrade

S/4HANA, cloud, or a re-platform. Know what's worth carrying forward — and what to leave behind — before you sign the SOW.

Data quality issues

Decisions are being made on numbers the business doesn't trust, and nobody can pin down where the data goes wrong.

Regulatory or compliance concerns

An audit, inspection, or validation is coming and you need to know where the gaps are before someone else finds them.

Before major investment

You're about to commit to significant consulting or system work. Make sure it's aimed at the real problem.

Why us

Independent. No implementation bias. Nothing to sell you but the truth.

An audit is only useful if the auditor has no stake in the answer. We built the service around that.

25 years hands-on experience across SAP modules and manufacturers — Airbus, JLR, McLaren, Sanofi, Smith & Nephew, Honeywell, Howdens and more.

We assess honestly. We don't sell implementations we don't believe in — and there is no implementation attached to the audit.

Any module, any system. The audit isn't locked to our consulting specialties. If the problem is in finance or HR, that's what the report will say.

Confidential roadmap. You decide next steps. The report is yours. Who fixes what — and whether to fix it at all — is your call.

"We're not here to sell you more consultants. We're here to tell you, clearly and with evidence, what's actually going on in your system."

Also available: SI Oversight

Mid-implementation? Put someone independent on your side of the table.

If you're in the middle of an SAP programme with a System Integrator, the same independence applies. PlainSightIQ Oversight keeps your SI honest — from the SOW you haven't signed yet to the project that has already stalled. No implementation staff. No SI partnership agreements. Nothing to protect but you.

SOW Roast

48-Hour Contract Risk Review

Vague acceptance criteria, resource bait-and-switch, and uncapped Time & Materials exposure are standard in SI contracts. We read it before you sign it.

The deliverable

A Red/Amber/Green risk report with redline language — within 48 hours.

Truth Audit

Continuous Project-Health Governance

"Watermelon" status reporting — green on the outside, red on the inside. Boards decide on polished slide decks rather than project reality.

The deliverable

A monthly Shadow Dashboard for the board, built from our own independent assessment of schedule, scope, quality, and risk.

SI Benchmarker

Commercial & Team Efficiency Review

Senior names on the proposal, junior staff on the ground. Rate cards that are never challenged. Are you paying the right people the right amount?

The deliverable

A negotiation playbook identifying specific savings — or confirming fair value — with evidence.

Rescue Roadmap

Recovery for Stalled SAP Projects

When the project has stopped moving and nobody has a straight answer. The longer it drifts, the harder recovery becomes.

The deliverable

A 10-day forensic diagnostic, a Stay-or-Pivot recommendation, and a 90-day stabilisation roadmap.

Know what's actually going on in your SAP system.

Four weeks. Any module. A confidential roadmap you own — and no one trying to sell you the fix.
