FAQs
We want you to,
Breathe easier knowing your SOX controls are in expert hands.
What's the difference between ITGC and process-level controls?
ITGCs cover the technology environment supporting financial systems—access, change management, and IT operations. Process-level controls are the specific procedures within a financial process, like revenue recognition or journal entries, that prevent or detect a material misstatement.
Do we need external auditor testing, or can we self-assess?
Public companies subject to SOX 404(b) require external auditor attestation. Smaller reporting companies may qualify for a 404(a) management-only assessment. We'll help you confirm which path applies to you.
What counts as a control deficiency vs. a material weakness?
A deficiency means a control didn't operate as designed. It becomes a significant deficiency or material weakness based on the size and likelihood of the misstatement it could cause to your financial statements.
How often do we need to test our SOX controls?
Key controls are typically tested annually, with walkthroughs and updated risk assessments whenever your ERP, processes, or organization change materially.
Does SOX apply if we're not yet publicly traded?
Not directly, but companies preparing for an IPO often build SOX-ready controls early to avoid a costly scramble post-listing and to give investors confidence in the numbers.
What happens after we pass our initial SOX audit?
We transition you into continuous governance. We maintain strict oversight of your controls to keep you perpetually audit-ready, empowering you to scale securely and confidently report to investors.
