Exhibit 99.2

STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, Earl Shanks, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NCR
Corporation, state and attest that:

     (1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
     of NCR Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented in a
     subsequent covered report:

            .  no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
               fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
               the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
               as of the date on which it was filed); and
            .  no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
               make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
               circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
               the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
               report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
               on which it was filed).

        (2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with NCR
        Corporation's Audit and Finance Committee.

        (3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
        before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            .  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001
               of NCR Corporation;
            .  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
               definitive proxy materials of NCR Corporation filed with the
               Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified
               above; and
            .  any amendments to any of the foregoing.


                                        Subscribed and sworn to before me this
                                        13/th/ day of August 2002.
