Description
The most contentious aspect of SOX is Section 404, which requires management and the external auditor to report on the adequacy of the company's internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). This is the most costly aspect of the legislation for companies to implement, as documenting and testing important financial manual and automated controls requires enormous effort.В This course provides an overview of SOX Section 404 and discusses how one can effectively implement a solid program to address the needs of Section 404.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight BoardВ (PCAOB) approved AuditingВ Standard No. 5 for public accounting firms on July 25, 2007.В This standard superseded Auditing Standard No. 2, the initial guidance provided in 2004. The SEC also released its interpretive guidanceВ on June 27, 2007. These two standards together require management to
Understand the flow of transactions, including IT aspects, in sufficient detail to identify points at which a misstatement could arise;Evaluate company-level (entity-level) controls, which correspond to the components of theВ COSOВ framework;Perform a fraud risk assessment;Evaluate controls designed to prevent or detect fraud, including management override of controls;Evaluate controls over the period-endВ financialВ reporting process;Scale the assessment based on the size and complexity of the company;Rely on management's work based on factors such as competency, objectivity, and risk;Conclude on the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting.
Sarbanes-Oxley was passed in 2002 and year one of attestation for publically traded companies was 2004. SOX section 404 is the most prominent of the many requirements covered under the legislation.
