Meeting the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is business-critical. However, this can be a significant time and cost burden, so audit teams need a software solution that can meet its requirements more efficiently and effectively. A modern software solution helps integrate advanced analytics and streamline testing to improve assurance. It should also provide real-time insight into SOX progress and risk, ultimately supporting informed decision-making and executive visibility.

We’ve put together a solution checklist that will serve as a guide. It outlines key features you should look for in a SOX compliance solution, such as:

• SOX project setup and documentation of control environment
• Fieldwork and testing
• Issue management and 302 certification
• Monitoring and communication
