Sarbanes-Oxley places similar demands on companies that are very dissimilar. A company’s size, stage, and complexity should drive their compliance activities. Senior management – not a company’s external auditor – must determine the most effective and efficient approach to initial and ongoing compliance.
J.H. Cohn’s Corporate Governance Services practice helps senior management—and the audit committees that oversee them—find a common sense, right-sized approach to SOX.
Is your company a:
First-Time Accelerated Filer? Tying strategy to compliance from the outset, an approach must look to deliver a return on your SOX investment.
Year 2 or Beyond Accelerated Filer? Taking maximum advantage of the SEC’s recently-released guidance and PCAOB’s new Auditing Standard 5, optimization is key to drawing measurable and real value from the company’s ongoing SOX compliance initiatives.
Non-Accelerated Filer? An efficient, economical approach that meets the minimum requirements of Section 404A, in a way that will not compromise senior management’s ability to sign quarterly Section 302 and 906 certificates.
Pre-IPO Companies? Ensuring that a broad corporate governance framework is in place—not just SOX compliance—will make your company more desirable when the time is right.
Our partners would like to share our fresh approach with you. We have helped hundreds of clients—from small biotechs with zero revenue to Fortune 100 companies with international operations—achieve compliance in a responsible way.
And…We can provide numerous related services to support management in various areas such as technology and security audits and controls, policy and procedure development, and financial and SEC reporting.
