The actions of an unscrupulous few have opened the eyes of investors and federal regulators to the dangers of financial statement fraud. Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 has changed the business world by formalizing management's responsibility for, and reporting of, internal controls. This increased accountability requires documentation and testing of the processes and controls that support external financial reporting. The deadlines for compliance are fast approaching, and will continue to affect middle market businesses for years to come.

We can help you realize your goal of timely and complete compliance. Our 404 compliance team has the experience and qualifications you need for this critical project. We currently provide internal audit support and Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Compliance services to Fortune 1000 public companies and large privately held entities.

We can provide:

• Internal control documentation and testing
• Project management that allows you to focus on ongoing operations while the Section 404 compliance effort is in progress
• Access to Information Technology control specialists
• Experienced professionals who understand your needs, and the needs of your auditor
• Extensive risk-based internal audit experience that supports process and control improvements beyond financial reporting
