In our experience, the area that changes the most in business is HR and payroll related legislation. From small changes relating to tax codes, to larger changes such as GDPR, it is constantly moving and your SAP system should be regularly reviewed to ensure compliance in this area. However it is not the only place! SAP finance has also had legislative changes recently, and with Brexit coming up, we anticipate changes to customs laws too, which will affect SAP MM and PM systems.

We recommend carrying out a review of your processes to make sure that they are in line with current legislation, however it can sometimes be difficult to conduct this internally, so a new pair of eyes can really help with this task. Absoft offer a business process review service which provides you with recommendations of the areas to work on.

It can be difficult to know where to start with making your system compliant – that’s why with Absoft’s compliance review service, we provide you with recommendations and assign a priority to them so that you can see clearly which areas should get your attention first. High priority items might include those which are likely to incur a fine from HMRC.
