The Problem
With investor confidence shaken in the wake of several high profile corporate financial scandals, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission responded by creating the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 to improve the reliability of financial statements and to better protect investors. The passing of this Act created an immediate need for all public companies to understand SOX in detail, especially accelerated filers that have had to comply with SOX since late 2004. Now, with the deadline for non-accelerated filers fast approaching, all publicly traded firms need to put a plan in place today to fully understand and comply with SOX section 404.

The Solution
To help you develop a plan for fully complying with SOX 404, The Institute for Financial Excellence is proud to offer two web-based educational courses that demystify Sarbanes-Oxley with a thorough overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Now, it is easy to chart a path to compliance. Simply click here to purchase SOX IQ to learn about SOX at your own pace.
