These tools are intended to be used by PwC Oracle specialists performing an audit, attestation or consulting engagement invo

recommended that at least one member of the team has specific training or experience in the ERP wherever practicable.

or the client's use of the application.

Because inherent functionality and controls can be affected by system customizations, practitioners should discuss any
inherent functionality with engagement management.
Each Work Program is specifically written for Oracle's 12 release. Use with any other versions should be done with care
between each Oracle release.

1.2. Practice Aid


PwC's Oracle Practice Aids are documents designed to give a user a broad understanding of Oracle's associated applications
These documents are not intended to provide comprehensive general guidance on this process in non-Oracle environments.
for which there is no PwC Practice Aid, please refer to appropriate Oracle User guides for further details. These can be found a
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html

Each practice aid is specifically written for Oracle's 12 release and is divided into 5 main sections, as outlined below:
1.2.1. Introduction/Engagement Approach/Key Contacts
The Introduction section of each practice aid outlines potential tools and engagement approaches that may be used when c

B. Oracle Engagement Considerations


Practitioners may want to consider the following items during an audit of financial statements, an audit of internal controls over
review of the Oracle application.
1)Determine which version of the software your client is using. Check the version against the compatibility table in the "A
Aid, to ensure the appropriate Practice Aid is utilized.
2)Inquire of the client's business owners and system administrator if any customizations to the standard software have be
customizations to assess the effect.
3)Confirm the number of instances (separate Oracle databases environments) that the client maintains.
4)Confirm the number of Sets of Books, Operating Units and Modules in scope within each Oracle instance.
5)Interview the systems administrator or other suitable IT personnel to gain knowledge and understanding of the system d
databases and network).
6)Ascertain the approximate size of the user population and number of responsibilities.
7)Approach the security manager and request that a user is created for the practitioner. This role/ group should enable th
menus and programs in the in-scope Oracle application.
8)Discuss the relevant business processes with the client, ensuring an understanding of the application version, functiona
the client relies upon.
9)A fresh copy of the Practice Aid and its related Work Program(s) should be downloaded for each new engagement to en
tailoring.

10)Based upon the knowledge gained regarding the client's environment, tailor the Work Program to match the client's bus
11)When documenting any test results and resulting risks, consider both the mitigating/compensating controls, and manual
environment.
12)If needed, contact the key contacts shown in the Contacts section of this document for additional guidance regarding co
during the engagement.
