Sarbanes-Oxley and Internal Controls: What You Need to Know Now!

The new Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) financial reporting legislation now makes senior managers directly accountable for the design and effectiveness of internal controls and the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting. These new rules dramatically affect a company’s need to ensure that all employees understand the importance of their role in enhancing and maintaining internal controls.

This interactive workshop provides “must have” information that helps your company or organization comply with the stringent new internal control requirements of SOX. It is the first program designed not only to heighten awareness of the provisions of the SOX legislation, but also to emphasize the importance of your company’s internal control requirements.

This program will give you a better understanding of

  • The control requirements of the SOX law and its severe noncompliance penalties
  • Management responsibilities for overall security, accuracy, and integrity of financial reporting
  • Importance of financial focus and discipline throughout the entire organization
  • The company’s internal control framework with more clearly defined roles and responsibilities
  • Management/employees’ responsibilities to shareholders
