ERP Security and Access Control Workshop in Nigeria
Classroom cohorts in Abuja, Lagos · live online · in-house anywhere in Nigeria
Excessive access rights in an ERP system are a frequent audit finding, and they open the door to fraud, errors and unauthorized changes to master data. Five days start with segregation of duties (SOD) principles and the incompatible function pairs that matter in procure-to-pay, order-to-cash and record-to-report processes. You then design a role-based access control (RBAC) framework with business roles, technical roles and a clear ownership model. Rule sets and access reports are used to identify SOD violations, rank them by risk and remediate them through role redesign or user clean-up.
Where conflicts cannot be removed, you design approval workflows and compensating controls such as independent review of sensitive transactions. The final day covers audit trails, change logging, emergency or firefighter access and continuous monitoring, so violations are caught before auditors find them. Exercises use sample role matrices and user listings that resemble exports from SAP, Oracle and Dynamics environments. IT auditors, ERP security administrators, internal control and risk staff, compliance officers and finance systems managers will recognize their daily problems in the material. You leave able to run an access review, defend role design decisions and present a remediation plan to management.
About this course
ERP systems are target one for internal fraud and data theft because they hold financial, operational, and customer information. This workshop teaches security professionals and ERP administrators to implement access controls and segregation of duties (SOD) that prevent fraud while maintaining operational efficiency.
Through practical security configuration exercises, participants build the expertise to audit ERP access, identify risk, and implement controls that satisfy auditors and executives.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how ERP security and access control is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for segregation of duties principles in ERP, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Develop robust ERP security and access control frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
- Analyze performance using recognized evaluation methods drawn from segregation of duties principles in ERP.
- Design practical systems that strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence generation.
- Evaluate outcomes and assess longer-term impact across a range of operating contexts.
- Apply relevant tools, frameworks and analytical methodologies confidently and appropriately.
- Integrate role-based access control (RBAC) design into existing organizational processes and reporting structures.
- Strengthen decision-making and operational effectiveness through evidence-based professional practice.
