Sarbanes-Oxley
(SOX) 404 Compliance Assistance
We assist organizations that need help achievingcompliance with the
requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, need
confidence in the quality of the information produced by their IT
systems, or need an independent review of their control structure,
including identification of weaknesses and possible design enhancements:
- We help clients select appropriate internal
control frameworks
for relevant business process areas under 404 based on the risk
assessments, and the degree of complexity and importance involving the
controls. We are proficient with COSO standards and COBIT protocols to
ensure
compliance and to establish long-term process efficiency.
- We perform and document actionable risk
assessments, identify
key processes underlying financial reporting risk, identify types of
controls to test, and develop
testing strategies.
- We assist with tests of operating
effectiveness of controls for various IT organizations
including IT general computer controls (operations, information
security, change management, backup and recovery, etc.), business
process controls, and automated application controls.
- We identify control weaknesses in IT and business
processes. We also formulate
value-based remediation strategies to mitigate
identified deficiencies.
- We consistently
reduce expected SOX 404 audit durations by delivering
project requirements timely and in a manner understood by department
management and external auditors.
- We work closely with management to
streamline
and enhance Sarbanes-Oxley methodology.
- We work with external auditors to determine reliance
approach
on management’s work to streamline compliance procedures and reduce
the time and resource requirements for the 404
certification.
