Internal Controls
Internal Controls SOX 404 Training
One Day Seminar
The Internal Controls Sox 404 Training one day seminar presents a business based approach to looking at the controls required by Sarbanes-Oxley 404. This one day seminar recognizes that controls cost money and companies do not have the excess cash, nor a lot of time, to address the SOX 404 issues.
The focus is that internal controls should be designed to help you be successful in accomplishing your business objectives as well as to comply with SOX 404 issues. The concept of controls linked to business risk and the amount of risk that companies are prepared to take on in order to accomplish their business objectives is discussed in detail. Practical guides are presented for the governance level of a company to decide on how much risk they are prepared to live with and for management to track and monitor that risk on an ongoing basis to ensure that it stays within the governance approved limits.
Control guidelines are presented for the implementation of cost effective controls at the process level of a company. Using the concepts presented, participants will learn how to identify resource consuming over control and identify potential cost savings. For companies under pressure to reduce costs, the approach presented in this one day seminar will be invaluable.
The COSO control model and how it relates to SOX 404 will be discussed. All the control concepts presented will be tied into the COSO control model. In addition, practical guides will be delivered for the fundamental tasks that vice presidents, department managers and front line supervisors must perform in order to accomplish a solid and robust internal control structure.
Participants will also receive a free copy of our Risk Control Manager™ software demo tour that is designed to document and test internal controls for SOX 404 purposes.
