Sage 200
Many Sage 200 implementations accumulate risks and inefficiencies over time, impacting reporting accuracy and operational integrity. Our audit identifies these vulnerabilities before they escalate.
Diagnosis and strategic advice from battle-tested ERP operators.
Trusted by leading retailers
Operating Model
Our Sage 200 audit doesn't just list issues; it identifies the root causes impacting your financial and operational health. We diagnose system, process, and data integrity gaps, providing a clear pathway to resolution and optimising the returns on your ERP investment.
We conduct a thorough review of your Sage 200 configuration, data integrity, and operational workflows. This stage identifies specific pain points and validates the financial impact of current system behaviours.
Following diagnosis, we provide a strategic blueprint for optimising your Sage 200 environment. This includes recommendations for security enhancements, data governance, and process improvements to mitigate future risks.
An optimised Sage 200 is part of a broader ecosystem. We advise on how to best integrate it with other critical retail platforms, ensuring data flows are accurate, timely, and support your commercial objectives.
Why Cogent2
Over time, Sage 200 implementations can diverge from initial intent due to evolving business needs, manual workarounds, and lack of consistent governance. This often leads to manual data re-entry, increased reconciliation effort, and a lack of trust in financial reporting.

Recommendations with impact
Our Sage 200 audits use CogentAI to analyse transaction data and system logs, identifying anomalies and behavioural patterns often missed by manual review. This accelerates diagnostics and provides a clear view of system health and risks.
"CogentAI provides the deep, continuous visibility needed to prevent small discrepancies from becoming significant financial or operational issues."
CogentAI identifies hidden patterns and inefficiencies across your transaction flows.
Capabilities
We review critical aspects of your Sage 200 environment, from core financial integrity to the data flows that link it to your broader retail ecosystem. Our focus is on identifying operational and financial risks.
Connected Ecosystems
For retailers, Sage 200 is the financial core, but it's constantly exchanging data with a range of systems. Our audits consider the impact of these connections on your ERP's data integrity and operational state.

Operational Intelligence
Our audits frequently uncover common operational issues that affect financial accuracy, stock control, and reporting. Identifying these proactively prevents larger commercial damage.
Impact: Distorted financial reporting and reliance on manual consolidation, obscuring true profitability.
Cogent Approach: We review your Chart of Accounts against current operational needs, identifying redundancy and reclassification opportunities for clearer financial statements, working with finance teams to implement changes.
Impact: Inflated or deflated balance sheet assets, incorrect cost of goods sold calculations, and poor purchasing decisions.
Cogent Approach: Our audit analyses your stock transaction history, GRN processes, and landed cost application to pinpoint where valuation integrity is lost, recommending corrective workflows and system configuration changes.
Impact: Increased risk of financial fraud, data manipulation, and non-compliance with internal controls.
Cogent Approach: We conduct a comprehensive user permissions audit, mapping current access levels against defined job roles. We then advise on implementing a robust role-based access control framework to enhance security and accountability.
Impact: Lost sales, customer service escalations, manual data entry leading to operational bottlenecks.
Cogent Approach: Our audit examines your integration architecture, identifying where data fidelity is compromised. We provide guidance on establishing clear data mastery rules and robust error reporting for continuous data integrity.

Knowledge Base
Working Together
We start with a detailed discussion to understand your current Sage 200 challenges, operational pain points, and specific areas for review. This informs the audit scope.
Our consultants analyse your Sage 200 configuration, transaction logs, and integration points. We conduct interviews with your team to cross-reference system behaviour with reality. This is where we gather the evidence that 'the symptom hides the cause'.
We present a comprehensive report detailing our findings, potential risks, and a prioritised set of actionable recommendations. This forms your clear roadmap for Sage 200 optimisation.
