Information technology (IT) compliance with industry standards and governmental regulations is essential for many organizations, yet the cost of IT compliance and the risks of noncompliance continue to grow. These challenges can be especially difficult when organizations face them alone.
Crowe Horwath LLP’s dedicated professionals are focused on the fast-changing, complex world of IT compliance. We pair our knowledge of regulatory changes that redefine IT compliance with our experience in a wide range of industries. We bring all this knowledge and experience to bear as we work with organizations to help streamline the compliance process, which results in a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Crowe has helped hundreds of organizations understand and address the risks of their IT infrastructures in order to comply with Section 404. Our integrated approach to SOX helps management assess whether its IT general controls and application controls have been adequately designed to effectively meet the requirements of SOX. Examples of our innovation include the following:
- SOX Control Environment Prototype
This service offering is recommended when there are IT general control documentation or design issues expected at the outset of the SOX project. Instead of wasting time documenting the existing environment, Crowe starts with its proprietary IT general control environment prototype of policies and procedures and tailors this to your specific requirements. This approach will significantly reduce the time and cost of creating control documentation and test plans.
- SOX E-filing
This proprietary solution can help streamline the evidence collection, controls testing, and review process in an off-site work logistics paradigm — allowing a company’s IT team to stay focused on business objectives while still meeting the requirements of SOX.
