compliance methodology

• Identifying significant accounts, disclosures, and business processes/cycles
• Assessing risks
• Documenting the company's internal control
• Testing the operating effectiveness of internal control
• Remediating any internal control deficiencies and reporting

Our assurance services professionals have a thorough understanding of the rigorous requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), and we have significant experience helping public companies comply with these requirements.

As our clients work to assess the effectiveness of their companies' internal control over financial reporting, entity-level controls, and IT general and application computer controls, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we communicate with them and their outside auditors throughout the engagement to ensure expectations are in agreement.

By using the COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework, we help our clients to understand and comply with SOX requirements as painlessly as possible.

Key differentiators of our services:

• Focus on governance, risk, and compliance
• Finely tuned methodology
• Tight integration of financial and IT compliance
• Quality skills and resources
• Sustainable compliance processes
