It’s been 21 years since the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, one of the most impactful sets of federal legislation shouldered by publicly traded companies. Developed in response to several corporate financial scandals and losses in investor confidence, management teams have since been mandated to provide assurances around the reliability and accuracy of financial reporting. However, through time, processes, systems, and risk profiles have changed.

SOX program implementation assures that controls are properly designed and effective. As industries, technologies, and financial risks evolve, the added challenge is to ensure internal controls are both effective and efficient. Do you have the right controls in place today? Are your controls serving the company well while satisfying compliance requirements?

In this webinar, we explore the strategies, tools, and techniques that can help you optimize your compliance efforts, manage risk more effectively, and successfully navigate the complexities of SOX compliance.

 

As a company goes public and falls under SOX mandates, the regulatory requirements may seem complex and overwhelming. Join our upcoming webinar to gain a better understanding and learn the key details of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) implementation, including what your organization can expect and your potential challenges.

Topics we’ll cover:

• High-level requirements for SOX compliance
• Common client challenges
• Strategies for making the process easier
