SOX Master Class – Section 404



28-29 Apr 2014
NBC TOwer - Chicago, United States of America


Why You Should Attend

SOX Master Class – Section 404

Larger companies have had their SOX programs in place for a few years, while smaller businesses are still getting started. While we will discuss the concepts of SOX and the related regulations, the course will focus on how to ensure your program is efficient.  Are you testing the right controls – the ones essential to preventing or detecting a material misstatement? Are you testing too much?  Does your company make the best use of technology to assess the adequacy of controls over financial reporting?  After attending this course, you will leave with a solid understanding of how to apply top-down, risk-based principles in defining the scope of work for your SOX assessment. You will also return with information on how you can apply technology to both make your assessment process more efficient and more effective.
