The system audit is part of the Audit Information System (AIS). Previously it was only availabe in the SAP software component SAP_APPL (Logistics and Accounting).
Availability is required in all SAP systems (for example, BW, CRM, SEM, and APO). This is achieved by moving the system audit to the SAP_BASIS SAP software component.

What is the Audit Information System (AIS)?

AIS is a tool designed for the internal auditor. It is made up of the AUDIT report tree and contains collection, structuring and default values of SAP standard programs. The approach is geared towards check standards and check requirements.

The AIS targets auditors from the following areas:

• External audit

• Tax check

• Internal auditing/data protection

• Controlling

• System audit
