Attached is an outline of the involvement we've engaged AA to perform for each business unit as they go-live onto SAP. Please remember that ENA is going live onto SAP's "common design" that has already been reviewed by AA from a internal controls perspective. So this attachment outlines those items outside of "common design" that Wanda and Sally probably want covered from an ENA perspective. As a rule of thumb, this proposed scope equates to $100k - $150k in fees to AA that is over & above the audit budget. One word of advice: Designate a lead within ENA that has the time to stay on top of the project, schedule meetings with AA, and coordinate their involvement with the SAP team members, e.g. not Wanda or Sally, but at a director/manager level at least. I was the designee for Corp and ensured that AA kept the project going. Also, I worked extensively with the Janet Tran, SAP lead director responsible for bringing Corp up. Some big benefits: Kept AA out of SAP's hair when things got rough. Made sure that the SAP team knew what our goals & objectives were, especially when we found something that needed fixed before go-live. Managed that in fact AA provided us a deliverable at the end of the project. Please review and call if you need other info. I'd be glad to assist ENA too. I assisted Europe (Naomi Connell) and Int'l cos (John Berggren). They appreciated having a "co-pilot" and we avoided duplication of effort with what had already been done for the prior go-lives. Also, they felt that value was rec'd for dollars paid to AA for this work. Terrie
