Detailed Approach to Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

Our approach is aligned with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards and guidance and the COSO framework. We assist management to navigate the challenges of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. We partner with our clients to understand their needs to create a cost-effective approach. Project management and proactive communication are stressed to ensure effective and efficient engagements, including:

Ensure the right experienced audit resources are used
Provide best practice guidance
Regular status meetings
Continuous communication/feedback
Coordination with management and external audit
Using client’s system access, when possible
Using an user-friendly cloud based request list system

We apply a COSO risk-based, top-down approach that drives both efficiency and effectiveness into Sarbanes-Oxley programs. This approach ensures that organizations have identified the significant risks to material misstatement and has put in place the proper key processes and controls to adequately mitigate risk.
