The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 laid the foundation for a sweeping reform of corporate accounting principles, practices, and corporate governance. Complying with SOX requires public companies to not only certify that they have established systems of internal and disclosure controls, but verify that they’ve tested for effectiveness. The increasing demand for corporate accountability and financial reporting transparency has multiplied the responsibilities of a CFO organization exponentially. SolomonEdwardsGroup’s Corporate Governance services help companies of any size put measures in place to ensure adequate awareness, responsibilities, and disclosures related to business risk, financial reporting, reputation, and compliance matters.

Gain Perspective
SOX has changed the world of accounting forever. Many accountants have fond memories of pre-SOX days. Interpretting and complying with the regulations is a challenge for companies, both large and small. SEG has the perspective of working with a number of companies to comply with SOX regulations, assess risk, identify and implement key controls, and establish whistleblower strategies and procedures. Here is an example of a representative client success:
SEG was engaged by a large bakery products company with annual sales in excess of $250 million to assist with both the implementation of a new enterprise reporting system and ongoing SOX compliance activities. The company has partnered with SEG to establish and execute a Sarbanes-Oxley compliance plan encompassing all risk assessment, documentation, internal control testing and reporting aspects of the compliance program. SEG has assisted the company with extensive business process redesign and integration with respect to the company's implementation of SAP. In addition, SEG has assisted the company with various special project initiatives related to accounting operations and discreet forensic accounting and internal audit projects.
