TIMELY SARBANES-OXLEY EXPERTISE TO ASSIST YOU WITH COMPLIANCE PLANNING

A MASP consultant can assist you with:

• Internal control assessments required to determine what is needed to comply with the SARBANES-OXLEY Act (SOA) and document controls following a COSO framework
• Risk assessments to determine the business processes and areas of highest exposure that deserve the most attention, using a simple and widely proven risk assessment methodology
• Developing a detailed action plan to achieve compliance using a three-tier, top-down approach that emanates from the corporate mission statement and management directives

Our unique expertise preparing detailed "Action Plans" will help you achieve compliance to the requirements of SOA.  In addition, we can train your management and staff on the key aspects of Sarbanes-Oxley and we offer you a practitioner's manual to guide you towards SOA compliance.
