Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance services

Tailored solutions for streamlining compliance and mitigating risk

A sustainable, risk-based approach to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

Many at public companies—and those intending to go public—know they must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) but don’t fully appreciate the volume, cost and complexity of those demands. Internal teams can quickly become overwhelmed with critical and essential Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements, especially at companies that lack the resources to staff a dedicated SOX team. But considering the high cost of noncompliance, getting your SOX program right is crucial.

RSM has the right people, processes and technology to help you get Sarbanes-Oxley compliance correct. Our SOX advisors have deep industry experience and employ a modernized framework and a sustainable, risk-based approach. In addition, we continuously strive for the optimal balance of local and offshore support—to facilitate smart delivery of reduced costs and maintain compliance.

RSM's methodology is founded on a risk-based, top-down philosophy. When SOX compliance efforts are focused on the areas of most significant risk of material misstatement of the financials, the benefits can include:

  • A more efficient control environment in terms of the execution  as well as the assessment of those controls
  • Effectiveness of controls in preventing and detecting material misstatements
  • Reduced independent external auditor effort and related fees   

We’ve developed testing methodologies designed to reduce the risk of financial misstatements, mitigate risk and decrease potential scrutiny from external auditors. By leveraging data analytics, process mining and automation, we can improve efficiency, accelerate compliance execution and ease the burden on your internal teams.
