Control & Security of Peoplesoft






 

TWO-DAY SEMINAR/WORKSHOP
April 12-13, 2004

This two-day seminar will provide participants with a thorough understanding of the control issues relating to the PeopleSoft product.  The course starts with an overview of the product.  Then the instructor will then lead the participants though PeopleSoft implementation, project management, ongoing operations and product maintenance.  Once this segment is complete, the participants will learn the critical features of the PeopleSoft Security Administrator and how to use it to ensure that users are properly restricted.  The participants will then learn the critical application components of the PeopleSoft Suite.  As with most Canaudit courses, the material includes a series of risk / control tables and COSO compliant checklists.  This will assist the participants with their first PeopleSoft review.
