What does any Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) initiative have in common with SQA’s managed services? They both require independence, a business and compliance outlook, and coordination of a skilled team over a broad geographic area.
In an assessment of the impact of SOX initiatives on organizations titled “Under Control”, leading consultant Deloitte stated that one impediment to the process is "Overextension of internal audit: If management continues to utilize internal audit for intensive 404 and 302 compliance-related work, then a significant infusion of resources (i.e., budget and headcount) to accommodate the additional workload will be needed."
Whether your focus is internal such as a section 404 compliance project, or more supply chain-focused, concentrating on sections 401, 404 and 409, SQA can extend your organization in all the right areas.
Compliance, objectivity, and cost-effectiveness are the foundations of any SQA managed audit program. Talk to SQA today about how we can help you successfully take on your SOX challenges.
