Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance
With the rapidly changing world and the continuous evolving strategic, compliance, financial and operational risk landscape, it is imperative to have the right talent supporting your SOX compliance program.
Baker Tilly recognizes the need for a flexible approach. Key components to successful SOX compliance programs include collaboration with external audit and management, and a forward-thinking approach utilizing digital capabilities.
Technology is advancing and so should your SOX program approach. Utilizing digital capabilities to deploy an effective SOX compliance program can help reduce time and impacts to your company while providing a quality compliance program.
The needs of your company are evolving and perhaps your needs for supplemental resources to assist with SOX compliance may vary at times. We commonly see organizations need these types of assistance with SOX:
When working with clients, we often find the most successful compliance programs have collaborative relationships with management and external audit. Developing a collaborative relationship creates efficiencies for control owners and eliminates duplication of efforts. We work with external audit to support a reliance approach for the testing performed by internal audit.
Embracing technology and automation in your SOX Compliance program can yield significant time savings. The use of intelligent automation and automated controls through ERP workflows can create significant efficiencies.
