Sarbanes Oxley (SOX 404)

FustCharles’ internal controls expertise and guidance can help organizations comply with the SOX 404 requirement. 

Public companies as well as companies considering going public need to be aware of SOX 404. SOX 404 aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial statements, reduce the risk of fraudulent reporting, and increase transparency and accountability for publicly traded companies. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that management of public companies assess the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting and that an independent audit firm attest to and report on management's assessment of their internal controls.
