SOX Compliance Implementation and Audit

Initially made into law in 2002, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) — particularly Sections 302 and 404 — have created quite a furor for U.S. companies ever since.  While many companies have already implemented their controls and reporting requirements, these same companies continue to invest in ongoing audit requirements.  Other companies — particularly companies preparing to go public or having just gone public — are at the beginning of their SOX compliance efforts.

Becoming SOX compliant and performing periodic audits is an incredibly laborious process that requires unique expertise to execute efficiently and properly. Consero provides this expertise with resources that have extensive experience implementing SOX compliance controls and reporting as well as performing audits for public companies. Consero resources also have backgrounds in large accounting firms and corporate accounting departments strengthening the expertise they bring to bear for every client.
