萨班斯-奥克斯利法案合规服务

2002年的萨班斯-奥克斯利法案, 特别是404条款, requires the CEO and CFO of a public company to document and assess as of the end of every annual reporting period that they established, 维护, and tested the operating effectiveness of the public company’s internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The independent auditor of the public company must then provide an opinion on management’s assessment of the public company’s ICFR. The CEO and CFO also have to certify as of the end of each quarterly and annual reporting period that they are responsible for the design and operating effectiveness of ICFR based on Section 302 of the SOX Act.

Public companies establish compliance with the SOX Act by developing a compliance plan that includes the appropriate criteria which ensure that significant financial reporting risks have been identified, 评估并实施关键的内部控制以减轻这些风险. 上市公司使用的最突出的指导方针是 内部控制-综合框架 published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

整体, the process to ensure compliance with the SOX Act requires public companies to have specialized knowledge of the SOX Act requirements, COSO框架, and the internal control auditing methodologies followed by the independent auditor.

LBMC’s Sarbanes-Oxley Specialists have extensive knowledge and experience with the SOX Act, 第404节文档和测试要求, COSO框架, Generally 接受ed 会计 Principles (GAAP) and Public Company 会计 Oversight Board (PCAOB) 审计ing Standards (specifically AS 2201). We have been assisting numerous public companies with their SOX 合规 programs; working closely with their independent auditors. No matter if you are mature public company or a company in the process of entering the public market through a traditional public offering (IPO) or a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). 我们可以帮助您遵守SOX法规. Our services can be packaged or selected a-la-carte based on your desired support to include the following:

  • COSO框架遵守情况的记录和评估

为什么要外包SOX遵从性?

LBMC has a team of SOX 合规 experts and a well-established SOX compliance process that helps companies establish or continue compliance with the SOX Act in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our resources can be allocated among multiple clients thereby reducing costs and providing significant cost savings to you.

Companies that outsource the SOX compliance process generally meet the following profile:

  • Company is in the process of entering the public market through an IPO or a SPAC and doesn’t have an established framework to manage SOX compliance nor the resources necessary to establish a well-rounded and compliant program.
  • Public company has experienced a significant increase in costs to retain the talent that is needed to manage SOX 合规 and/or unable to leverage the expertise within the organization resulting in underutilization of talent.
  • Public company is unable to attract the talent that is needed to manage SOX 合规.
