There's no substitute for hands-on SOX experience. Fortunately, internal control expertise is the cornerstone of our company. Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requires management of every company to include an evaluation of its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, including non-accelerated filers. Our Sarbanes-Oxley Regulatory Compliance Services can help you avoid the fines, penalties and bad press associated with noncompliance. Based on clients' objectives, we can: develop compliance programs; review existing programs for effectiveness; perform risk assessments; conduct periodic compliance monitoring; assist you in preparing for regulatory exams, with follow-up and implementation of corrective actions; conduct training; document compliance policies and procedures … and more. Taking a modular approach, our services – including assessment, testing, reporting, documentation and ongoing monitoring – are designed to help clients evaluate and document the effectiveness of their internal control processes. We also have the necessary tools and templates to facilitate and expedite the implementation of any SOX compliance effort, while optimizing your internal control environment and improving your overall processes. In other words, whatever your need, Jefferson Wells can help.
