Internal Controls and SOX for Practitioners
SOX control failures often come from IT general controls nobody owns. Scope your ITGCs, run quarterly certifications and handle deficiencies before the auditors do.
What you'll be able to do
- Scope IT general controls that matter to financial reporting
- Run quarterly control owner certifications
- Rate deficiencies by severity and track them to closure
- Produce a clean quarter-close report
A quarterly SOX attestation cycle
What's in it. ITGC scope, control owner certification, deficiency register with severity, and the quarter-close report.
You build it lesson by lesson, using your own organization, and submit it for your certificate. It's yours to keep and adapt.
Who it's for
IT and finance staff, control owners and internal auditors at public or pre-IPO companies.
