As a Certified Internal Auditor, should I enroll in SAP classes?

Question

I've been an auditor for a long time but I've never had any SAP knowledge/experience at all. I'm planning on enrolling for several SAP courses. They cost a lot. I don't know if I should invest my money in attending those classes. I know the classes would help increase my competency. Career-wise, how helpful would these SAP classes be? I really want to gain knowledge/experience in systems currently used by big corporations.

Is there a lot of opportunity for a CIA with SAP background? Also, which SAP courses should I take?

Answer 1

Sure it is always a big advantage to know SAP.
You should follow the SAP overview trainings for FI CO and MM and then buy some books to learn more.

Here are some good sites about SAP:
