Founder, 300Framework · Former Big 4 SAP audit lead
For 25 years I sat on the audit side of SAP — chasing exceptions, untangling P2P breakdowns, explaining to finance teams why their controls weren't catching what they thought.
The 300Framework distills what actually works: the questions that surface real risk, the SAP queries that pull the right data, the workflows that turn findings into fixes. It's the playbook I wish I'd had on day one.

The risk
Ensure that all journal entries have been obtained for the correct period and company codes.
What you’ll learn
This course teaches the General ledger = trial balance analysis from the Data verification area of the 300 Framework (Reconciliations): how to reconcile the general ledger to the trial balance. We start with the real-life fraud scenarios behind it, then give you the accounting and SAP background you need to judge whether the data is genuinely pointing to a problem in the specific context of your organisation.
The data and the code
You’ll get the exact SAP data required to run this analysis from either ECC or S/4HANA — the relevant tables, fields and how to join them — followed by a walk-through of the Python code and its logic: the filters, the joins, the algorithms, and the Artificial Intelligence tools you can layer on to enhance your result set.
Test your skills
Finally, you’ll put it into practice on a real dashboard, answering questions from our chatbot to find the exceptions in the data and choose the most interesting samples to investigate.
Taught by our experts in fraud detection, internal audit, internal control and SAP.
