Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404: How to Establish an Effective Internal Controls System - Webinar (Recorded)

  • Webinar

  • 90 Minutes
  • August 2019
  • Compliance Online
  • ID: 4899878
Why Should You Attend:

All annual financial reports must include an internal control report stating that management is responsible for an adequate internal control structure, and an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the control structure. Any shortcomings in these controls must also be reported. In addition, registered external auditors must attest to the accuracy of the company management assertion that internal accounting controls are in place, operational and effective. Management knows that without an effective internal control system in place, the organization may be open to fraudulent transactions, theft, hefty fines, penalties, stricter government laws and rules.

This world of globalization requires businesses to become more competitive by reducing resource wastefulness, and setting directions and goals. An internal control management system will assist your company with optimization of these processes.

In this webinar, participants will learn the processes of internal controls formulation and implementation including how to develop steps for internal controls, the internal control process, how to develop tools for testing and maintaining internal controls, and how to benefit from these tools.
