Managing SOX Compliance and Risk Advisory for Mid-Market Firms

Understanding the Imperatives of Sarbanes-Oxley Act

For newly public companies or those planning an IPO, establishing robust internal financial controls is an absolute regulatory mandate under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (specifically Section 404). Establishing and auditing these controls, however, can strain in-house finance teams.

Risk Consulting and SOX Compliance support help companies map key business cycles, design test cases, and continuously monitor controls to prevent material misstatements.

Effective Control Mapping & Implementation

• Process Mapping: Documenting narratives and swim-lane flowcharts for high-risk areas like Procure-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash.
• Segregation of Duties (SoD): Verifying system access levels to ensure no single user can execute unauthorized material modifications.
• Offshore Testing: Utilizing expert offshore testers to execute design and operating effectiveness testing, minimizing expensive local audit hours.
