Internal Audit Co-Sourcing

As a solution for companies required to adhere to the regulatory requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, our ITGC and Business Controls Testing Service allocates our skilled IT audit resources to execute testing and help you deliver on those obligations.

What is Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)?

Whether you’re a publicly traded American company, a publicly traded foreign company operating in the U.S., or a wholly-owned subsidiary of either, you’re obligated to adhere to the SOX Act.

Part of those compliance obligations include regular audits to verify the effectiveness of appropriate controls, and while organizations often rely on their internal auditors to perform these reviews, there’s always the risk of inadequate reporting that can lead to fines, legal action, and loss of market confidence.  

Leverage Schellman Expertise for Peace of Mind

Ensure you achieve SOX compliance and additional assurance that comes with having our experts perform quality testing and reporting of your IT-related controls.

In pivoting to Schellman for your ITGC and Business Controls Testing, you would take advantage of our:

  • Highly Qualified Assessors At Schellman, the team that performs our ITGC and Business Process Control Testing is made up of highly qualified professionals that hold prestigious certifications such as CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), and CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), which reflect their expertise in financial management, information security, and information systems auditing—all assets that are crucial for a comprehensive audit.
  • Singular Focus on SOX One challenge internal audit teams have in keeping up with SOX audit obligations is that they’re often also serving in other roles within their organizations, and that could lead to gaps in their SOX work—but bringing in the highly trained and experienced Schellman team would give you the peace of knowing the work is being completed by qualified technical resources solely dedicated to your SOX needs.
