Uncover the Procurement Risks ERP Systems Miss

Why retail financial leaders must advance ERP execution to continuous analytics for true financial assurance.

Thursday, June 18 • 3 p.m. ET • 2 p.m. CT

About the webinar

Many retail organizations have spent years modernizing ERP platforms such as SAP to standardize procurement. While these systems execute transactions efficiently, they often lack the continuous analytics needed to detect subtle errors, policy breaches and emerging risks.

As a result, issues such as duplicate invoices, vendor price creep, shadow vendors and potential fraud can persist undetected – leaving finance leaders exposed to financial loss, compliance gaps and limited visibility into operational risk.

In this 30-minute executive discussion, we examine why procurement integrity is now a CFO-level priority – and how retail organizations are moving beyond periodic audits to continuous financial assurance.

Dustin Diamond, Vice President of Finance at Sobeys, shares how advanced analytics is helping uncover hidden risk and enable proactive, ongoing financial oversight.

Key takeaways:

  • Why Sobeys elevated procurement integrity to a CFO priority.
  • How Sobeys thinks about assurance beyond ERP execution.
  • How risks that are known but not easy to quantify change at retail scale.
  • What boards are expecting from finance leaders today.
