SOX Compliance audits

For all Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered companies, compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act presents significant challenges. Under the requirements of the Act, management must review, test and document internal controls over financial reporting, and accept full responsibility for the internal control structure of the company.

RSM member firms can help you create a comprehensive project plan to address all the complexities of section 404 so that your management board meets their legal responsibilities with regard to financial control and reporting. They adopt a similar global approach to JSox and KSox work and have experience of carrying out SAS70 assignments.

RSM member firms have Sarbanes Oxley specialists who have a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements and their impact on controls, data, systems and infrastructure. Their experience across a variety of regulated industries, and knowledge of risks and controls, means that they can provide advice on risk, control and IT governance and Sarbanes Oxley regulatory compliance issues.

Services include:

• Independent ‘readiness’ assessments
• Technical support – scoping, documentation, valuation and reporting
• Assessment of the control environment
• Direct assistance in the evaluation and remediation of controls
• Skilled resources so that you can release internal resources to concentrate on your business' usual activities
• SAS 70 reviews
