Compliance, Controls & Assurance
SOX IT Controls Readiness
Strengthen the IT control environment supporting financial reporting before testing begins.
Service overview
Reliable financial reporting increasingly depends on technology. SOX IT controls help provide confidence that the systems supporting financial reporting are appropriately accessed, changed, and operated.
CyberAxis helps organizations evaluate and strengthen the IT control environment supporting SOX compliance.
The business problem
Where this usually breaks down
SOX issues often arise not because a control does not exist, but because ownership is unclear, execution is inconsistent, evidence is insufficient, or the underlying process was not designed with auditability in mind.
Common challenges
You may need this service if…
- Your organization is entering SOX scope for the first time
- New applications or systems have entered the financial-reporting environment
- ITGC deficiencies have been identified
- Control owners are unclear about evidence expectations
- SOX testing repeatedly identifies the same issues
- Significant system or process changes have occurred
