Internal control

Distribute Permissions to Enforce Segregation of Duties

Distributing permissions among users reduces overlapping responsibilities in the financial cycle. You can separate creation, review, approval, and receiving tasks across different roles according to your company’s procedures, and link this to your financial accounting operations in the system.

  • Separate the permission to enter purchase invoices from the permission to approve supplier payments.
  • Give warehouse keepers access to the screens and operations their work requires.
  • Organize approval and review permissions for operations that require management approval, based on your company settings.
