Risk Common

Common Risk Management

Updated "Run By" Search Attribute in Monitor Jobs

In Monitor Jobs, you can search for jobs run by a specific person. It used to be that you could select from a list of 500 users. But any users in excess of 500 would not show in the list. So now, rather than selecting from a limited list, you search for any part of a user name in a free-form text box. If you have saved searches that use the Run By field, you can continue to use the limited list of 500 users for those saved searches. Any new search you create will allow you to search using free-form text instead.

Ability to Mass Edit Security User Group Membership

Security administrators and user group owners can now use the security mass edit functionality to update the members within a security user group.

Ability to Migrate User Groups

To help in the implementation of new user groups, users can now migrate user groups from one environment to another.

Updated Email Templates

There is a new email template for all of Risk Management to better communicate when actions are required by the assigned users.

Transactional Business Intelligence for Risk Management

Reports Now Cover Control Stratification and Additional Survey Attributes

A new Control Stratification attribute has been added to the Risk Detail dimension located in the Risk Management Cloud - Compliance Real Time and Risk Management Cloud - Assessment Results Real Time subject areas. In addition Survey Template Name, Respondent Email Address, and Respondent Completion Date have been added to the Survey Details dimension in the Risk Management Cloud - Assessment Results Real Time subject area.

New Attributes Available for Access Certification

New user-role, role code, creation date, and who attributes have been added to the Access Certification dimension in the Risk Management Cloud - Access Certification Real Time subject area.

Changes to Remediation Plans and Tasks

The record of an issue includes a Remediation tab, which opens a page displaying information about remediation plans associated with the issue. A Tasks region of this page used to display detailed information about the tasks to be completed for a selected remediation plan. Now this region displays summary information about those tasks. In the row for a task, you can click its name to open a page that displays detailed information about the task.

Change to Managing Control Relationships to Risks

As you define a risk, you can relate control records to it. You may select a stratification value for each related control to define its distinct purpose in managing the risk. You can also designate a control as primary and other controls as subordinate to it, typically as a reflection of their stratification values. Here's what's new: You can delete a primary control only if you first delete controls that are subordinate to it. ("Delete," in this context, means to end the control's relationship to the risk; the control continues to exist.) If appropriate, you can then select deleted subordinate controls to relate them to the risk once again.

Changes to the Creation of Issues

Issues can't be created while an object record is in the New state.

Changed Encrypted IDs in the Import Template

In the import template generated by the Data Migration utility, SYSTEM_ID values are no longer encrypted. Rather, the template includes the numeric system ID, which is the same as the ID available in OTBI. This change requires you to generate a new data export, so that records with numeric system IDs can be used to import data.

Changes to Assessment Action Buttons

The action buttons for assessment records have been updated to reflect the appropriate action the user is taking based on the record's state.

Configuration Option to Make Survey Mandatory in Assessments

A new assessment configuration option has been added to require assessors to submit survey responses.

Enhancements to Assessment Survey UI Flow

Often there is the need to include a survey as part of the assessment record. Updates to the Complete Survey assessment train stop streamline this process.

• The survey instructions have been moved to appear above the first survey question.
• The additional click to complete the survey is removed.
• Additional buttons have been applied to navigate through a survey with multiple pages.
• The user must click Register Your Survey Responses on the final page of the survey.

Access Certification

Role Code Information Is Added

Each security role has a code to assist in its identification. The role-code information has been added to the following areas within the application: My Team, Certifier Worksheet, Mass Assignment, and Finalize Roles.

Advanced Financial Controls

New and Revised Models in Content Library

One new model for Advanced Financial Controls, called 40010: Journals Created and Approved or Posted by the Same User, is available in the content library. In the same content library, model 40004: Payment Process Request Created by Same User Managing Suppliers was updated.

Changes Are Made to Business Objects

This release includes additions, changes, and removal of attributes from business objects. Updated business objects include Purchase Order, Payment Process Request, Payables Setup Invoice, Payables Invoice, Receivables Adjustments, and seven audit objects. A new Journal Entry Action Log business object was added.

New Currency Conversion Available in Payables Invoice Object

If your organization transacts in multiple currencies, you can now use converted currency amounts as you define controls and work with incident results. This release introduces a new currency-conversion feature that you can enable and configure. When you enable it, two new amount attributes in the Payables Invoice business object provide converted values based on a default currency you define. You use these attributes as you would use any other attribute in your models, controls, and their results.

Display of Integer Attribute Types No Longer Shows Commas

In Advanced Financial Controls, results from models and controls can include attributes that are an integer (or identifier) type. The commas displayed with these identifier values have been removed.

Data Security Invoked Automatically for Secured Audit Business Objects

In release 21C, the Transaction Data Source Synchronization job was changed to return data for secured audit business objects. However, you were required to run a few one-time steps to initiate this.  These steps are no longer required.

Control Incidents Set to Closed When a Payables Invoice Is Deleted

When the Transaction Data Source Synchronization job runs, deleted records aren't recognized. In this release, when Manage Audit Policies is configured for payables invoices, incidents corresponding to a transaction that was deleted are closed when control analysis is run.

Result Investigator Is Added to Extract

As you view the results for a control, there is an Extract to Excel option. For transaction controls, the result investigator was not extracted. Now it is.
