• Establish dashboards and metrics that show control effectiveness, exceptions, remediation progress, audit demand, and recurring failure patterns
• Identify opportunities to automate controls, evidence collection, access reviews, monitoring, and reporting through SAP GRC and other enabling technologies
• Use lessons learned from audits and control failures to improve processes, training, system design, and accountability
