Segregation-of-Duties Matrix
Identify incompatible actions and document an independent review when a small team cannot separate every role.
Method And Expected Result
Review real user assignments, not only role names. A person combining supplier creation and approval or payment preparation and release needs a resolved conflict assessment. Include temporary access and service accounts.
Worked planning examples, not customer performance results. Changes stay in this page until exported; reloading resets them. Keep sensitive personal information out of this planning tool.
