Dynamics 365 Project Operations: Transaction Journals

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Project Operations now allows users to directly create and confirm financial transaction journals without approval workflows. This introduces a new pathway for financial data entry, bypassing standard controls.

The Impact

Financial teams are affected by new transaction entry methods, increasing the risk of unapproved financial entries.

• Financial users: Can bypass approval for transactions, increasing error risk.
• Audit teams: New unapproved transaction path complicates financial reconciliation.
• Security teams: Need to assess new data flow for compliance and integrity risks.

The Action

1. Review Dynamics 365 Project Operations roles and permissions for journal creation.
2. Implement compensating controls or audit processes for unapproved journal entries.
3. Update internal financial transaction policies to reflect new journal capabilities.
4. Conduct a risk assessment on the new transaction journal functionality.
