The Audit Information System (AIS) has been developed to provide internal and external auditors, Security Administrators and those with data protection and controlling responsibilities with a tool to assist in understanding and completing required tasks in the complex SAP environment. The SAP Audit Information System (AIS) provides a centralized repository for reports, queries, and views of data that have a control implication. AIS was first available for SAP R/3 Version 3.0D, and is delivered as standard in SAP R/3 Versions 4.6 and above. AIS is provided at no additional cost from SAP, and allows an auditor or manager to work online in the production system on a real time basis..
