    SOX is a kind of regulation / auditing guidelines. SAP is SOX compliant erp. SOX does not allow any bad business practice.

      Anoop:

      So you want a "checklist". You'll need to google that with key words: IT Finance Controls Checklist SOX.

      There are various tools available to assess the effectivenss of control, but you need to buy them. Check with your manager if they desire to have one.

      Whether your project is SOX compliant or not will depend on the effectiveness of controls in FI.

      I have given you some basic information along with some examples

      I believe now you have and understanding of what needs to be done.

      If you have a good understanding of FI business processes you may not need a tool to assess effectiveness of controls.

      As I have said before you need to work with accounting dept to analyse controls and configure SAP appropriately.
