J.H. Cohn’s global Corporate Governance Services practice brings unrivalled resources and experience to bear on governance, risk and compliance issues affecting senior management and board directors in Fortune 100, not-for-profit, and private companies who wish to move beyond compliance to improved profitability.
For public companies and pre-IPOs, we create solutions that dramatically reduce the time and resource-draining components of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our international not-for-profit clients benefit from SOX best practices applied by a team of recognized experts in all areas of regulatory compliance, risk management, internal auditing, and IT auditing and security.
You run your organization. We’ll protect your interests while you do it—to the fullest extent allowed by law.
We are active as sponsors or serve on the boards in our local associations, including:
Whether you are the CEO or CFO of an accelerated filer in year two of SOX or beyond, a smaller public company, or an organization planning an IPO, the concern is the same: attaining and sustaining SOX compliance in a timely and cost-effective manner. Having proper internal control systems in place that stand up to regulatory scrutiny is tantamount to your peace of mind, especially as you sign your company’s Sections 302 and 906 certifications.
If you want to make the move from being reactive to being strategic in your compliance effort, let a J.H. Cohn Governance, Risk, and Compliance professional show you how to refocus from a high-cost activity to a true company asset.
The complexities of global market conditions and the U.S. regulatory environment have placed tremendous pressure and increased accountability on the office of the chief financial officer. With greater demands from fellow C-suite executives, audit committees, and shareholders, not to mention increasingly complex regulatory mandates and the need to meet accelerated financial closing deadlines, CFOs are often strapped for resources.
Understanding risk and making informed decisions in response to uncertainty is fundamental to the development and execution of sound business strategy. J.H. Cohn helps its client employ a practical, lean approach to mitigating, monitoring and managing those risks.
Today’s business and regulatory environment is full of pitfalls and rocky passageways. Internal Audit must respond swiftly to ever-expanding and unprecedented demands. Whether Internal Audit is new to your company, fully established, or somewhere in between, J.H. Cohn can provide the experience and expertise to help you navigate to solid ground.
J.H. Cohn can help your company’s senior management balance its need to address the day-to-day demands of running the company with a GRC approach tailored to your needs that ties financial performance to operational and regulatory processes and associated risks. This approach is aimed at eliminating redundancies and centralizing activities to facilitate efficient and effective monitoring.
Business is increasing its dependence on information technology to lower its costs and improve financial and operating efficiencies. In addition, legislation and liability protection require that senior management take ownership of how information is generated, accessed, collected, stored, processed, transmitted, and protected. This requires each organization to implement strong IT governance practices to help ensure the effectiveness of computer controls within its key IT environments.
