Looking for continuing ed that gets past theory and drills into designing and validating automated controls in SAP S/4HANA and Oracle — think configuration evidence, completeness/accuracy, and change‑management tie‑outs. I need 24 CPE before June and want hands‑on labs in IDEA/SQL that map to SOX 404/COSO testing (access, 3‑way match, tolerance thresholds). What providers have been genuinely rigorous for you?
AuditNet + cRisk Academy got me 24 CPE by June with IDEA/SQL ‘3‑way match’ labs; SAP Learning Hub covered S/4HANA.
Pushed to hit “24 CPE before June,” I split it: Caseware IDEA Academy’s virtual bootcamp gave me most hours with true 3‑way match/tolerance threshold labs, then ISACA’s Auditing SAP S/4HANA covered config evidence and change‑management tie‑outs. @a_roberts78 is right on the SQL angle; small caveat — Oracle depth is thin unless you pair it with Oracle University’s Risk Management Cloud session. Download the datasets beforehand so you can test completeness/accuracy in class.
I paired SAPinsider’s GRC hands-on labs with Diligent (ACL) Analytics Practitioner and got practical SQL‑style tests (https://www.sapinsideronline.com/events/). The SAPinsider tracks walked through config evidence and transport history, while Diligent gave reusable scripts for P2P tolerances and access; small caveat: it’s ACL, not IDEA, but swapping syntax is like changing sockets on the same ratchet. Ask for “evidence packs” (STMS/SCU3 in SAP and Oracle ERP Cloud audit logs) so your completeness/accuracy tie‑outs are defensible.
Audimation’s IDEA labs nailed ‘completeness/accuracy’ and config evidence; met my June deadline. Oracle Learning lacks CPE — pair with OATUG webinars; https://www.audimation.com/training.
