Answer 2

Answer: control risk, project

Explanation:

ERP systems, while achieving great economies of scale and employing many

advantages, carry unique risks, many of which can be mitigated if the implementation is

executed successfully. Often, companies implementing ERP systems will seek out a third

party to give an unbiased opinion on the progress of the implementation and the work

accomplished by the internal project team and consultants. This third-party opinion is

called systems implementation assurance (SIA) and is an independent assessment of the

health and expected outcome of the ERP implementation and corresponding change

initiative. Various entities can do this type of work, but oftentimes the company’s internal audit staff or

external auditor is engaged to render this objective assurance. This assurance team will act

independently of the system integrators with a “dotted line” to the ERP project sponsor and

steering committee and operate in an “assess and recommend” mode. Typically, SIA will focus on three main types of risks throughout the ERP life cycle: control risk, project risk, and business risk. These risks happen at various points in the ERP life cycle
