SAP Table is a Critical piece in the SAP Audit Compliance.  The auditor should identify all the custom tables in the SAP System. The First Step is to find the authorization group of the Table. This can be done with transaction SE11. Enter the table and click on Display button. Then click on Table Maintenance generator from the utility menu to display the Authorization Group of the table.

If you want to get the list of all the tables and their authorization group and the table TDDAT  has the link between Table and auth group. With this list, you can identify the table without authorization group, misrepresented authorization groups and right authorization group. You may need to get help from the functional team to understand the right authorization group. It is good to identify the sensitive vs the non-sensitive and also functional team so you can clearly articulate which role can have access to the tables
