We help companies become Sarbanes-Oxley compliant
AMS supports publicly held companies’ efforts to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) section 302 and 404 requirements. We have a staff of experienced CPA’s and internal auditors working to meet the aggressive schedules set by the SEC for compliance, and we can help your company as well.
Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 public companies must include the following in their annual reports.
- A statement of management's responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company.
- Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the company's most recent fiscal year.
- A statement identifying the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting.
- A statement that the registered public accounting firm that audited the company's financial statements included in the annual report has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of the company's internal control over financial reporting
Since we scale our approach to the requirement of our clients, we provide a cost-effective solution. Services and deliverables may include:
- The complete documentation of your company's internal control environment required for the assessment by management and the external auditors, or we can complement the company's internal efforts in this area.
- Educating management and/or the audit committee about their responsibilities.
- Ongoing monitoring to support quarterly/annual assessment and attestation needs.
- Training your internal audit staff to meet the SOX compliance goals.
- A comprehensive risk assessment.
- The development of the company's internal communication system to report on internal control changes made company wide - alerting management as required for quarterly and yearly reporting.
- The preparation of your non-listed company for potential acquisition by a listed company to comply with SOX.
- Preparing nonprofits, hospitals, and other entities for compliance. Click here for more.
We also provide ongoing post-compliance support through our Outsourced Audit function.
