Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance
Don't Let SOX Compliance Become Overly Complicated
Most public companies, and those that intend to go public, are aware of their responsibility to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Unfortunately, these companies don't always fully understand the complexities of compliance. Before your internal team becomes overwhelmed by the substantial lift required by Sarbanes-Oxley implementation and continued compliance, reach out to a Risk Management and Advisory firm with the SOX experience and expertise you require to empower ongoing growth.
Balancing traditional internal audit needs, such as compliance monitoring, with additional needs like strengthening the control environment and Sarbanes-Oxley or SOX compliance is challenging. GBQ partners with clients to assist in the establishment of a risk-based internal audit function or to transform your current internal audit function from a poorly perceived, compliance-only function to a risk-based, process-focused function. We have extensive experience serving as the external auditor or internal auditor in an outsourced or co-sourced model. Additionally, we work closely with all internal audit functions, management, and audit committees to achieve the coverage your business needs and requires.
If you're looking for readiness services or ongoing compliance services, our professionals are prepared to direct or assist you in the performance of your compliance efforts.
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requires publicly held companies to include a statement of management's responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company, as well as management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the company's most recent fiscal year. GBQ's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance services range from full project management and execution to providing project assistance as needed. To address your technology controls, GBQ leverages its auditing capabilities and vast enterprise systems knowledge.
