Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance and Internal Control for Small and Medium Businesses
Duration: 1 Hour
Despite extensions by the SEC and attempts at simplifying compliance guidelines for SMBS, the SEC has finally concluded that SMBs will not be exempted from meeting SOX's Section 404 compliance requirements. SMBs now face a major challenge because they lack the level of resources that their large counterparts had to achieve compliance and have limited time left for compliance. The problem with waiting is that if controls are not in place at the beginning of the year, adverse Section 404 reports are highly likely. SMBs need to address the compliance without further delay.
This webinar offers an overall view of SOX for SMBs and strategies and approaches to help SMBs meet compliance to SOX and provide a basis for future improvements in governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC).
