SOX Compliance and Controls Evaluation

SOX Compliance and Controls Evaluation

We collaborate with management to create and implement a unique approach to corporate governance controls, SOX Sections 302/404 compliance and other regulatory requirements. We extend this approach to the operating, technology, software and process areas to expand SOX into a sustainable business process and have an effective transition plan to minimize disruptions to new clients.

This approach allows us to:

Provide unique insight, value and leading practices for SOX compliance
Offer “outside the box” recommendations to reduce cost and improve the process
Consider the current economic environment when developing the right SOX compliance approach
Coordinate compliance with independent auditors to fully understand the internal controls surrounding financial reporting for a firm
Foster a relationship that maximizes reliance by the company’s independent auditors on work performed by internal audit
Develop templates that improve the efficiency of the SOX compliance function, and which are reviewed and approved by all the Big Four and regional accounting firms
Deliver flexibility and responsiveness to the changing needs of organizations
