Sarbanes 404 Technology AuditsTo minimize your annual SOX compliance costs, you have selected an existing employee to complete the majority of your work relating to SOX, but they do not have the skills to perform some of the necessary tasks in the technology field.Building a SOX 404 IT Test plan based on an IT risk assessment, estimating the hours to perform the tests, evaluating the materiality of test results and defending your conclusions in the technology area are tasks you need done by a trusted source. But, can this trusted source bring in the test plan on or below budget? Will they do work of sufficient quality? Will the external auditors rely on their work? If you contract FDC Associates as your trusted source in Technology auditing, the answer is yes. Here is what the SOX Project Manager for a Major Regional Bank had to say about our work-- "They built and executed a 1500+ man-hour SOX technology test plan for our bank and completed it within 3 hours of budget. Our external auditors, Price Waterhouse Coopers, agreed with their risk assessment methods and scope, their test plan and its execution. Their supporting documentation and conclusions were right on the mark and PWC relied 100% on their work, saving us a significant amount of time and money." Create synergies and use your SOX tests and apply these tests to other areas where technology audit assurances are needed. Internet Vulnerability and Network access control tests, needed for the SOX entity level IT General Controls, can also satisfy your GLBA or HIPAA privacy requirements. Leverage your IT risk assessment by identifying all the areas that share a single business risk.
