It’s been 20 years and counting since the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation was passed. In theory, the legislative requirements outlined are still in place. Although the requirements haven’t changed, the time has changed and as a result, the execution of the processes has most likely changed.
On the platform are a series of courses that outline the full scope of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the various SOX sections. Twenty years later the information in these courses remains relevant. However, it would be amiss to not recognize that the passage of time has changed our world. Think of various events such as economic change, technological evolution, the pandemic, etc. These are just a few of the changes that may have impacted the manner in which we execute some of the processes outlined in the SOX legislation.
This is the first in a series of courses that will evaluate how various aspects of the SOX 404 process may be impacted by the passage of time and the evolution of risks. We will address some questions that corporate personnel and auditors might want to consider when executing their annual compliance process.
In this course, we will focus on the accounting risk assessment and considerations that may have changed since the original legislation was passed.
