RE: Auditing Oracle business processes?

I was going to guess that this had something to do with the Sarbanes-Oxley law in the USA, but then I noticed the country code on your email address.

Your management has to have a reason why they are asking this. What is it?

Fear of the technology?

Some external auditing "requirement"? ("Requirement" is in quotes, as it's probably not a real requirement, just something that came out of the mouth of a clueless auditor.)

Is this for a home-grown system or a third-party system? Both?

The answer is, "Yes, if you spend enough money and wait long enough for it to be implemented. How much is this knowledge worth to the business? That is because I suspect it will be way less than it will cost to prove it."
