Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

Sarbanes-Oxley isn’t just about complex compliance issues. Companies that fully embrace the measure can find that it serves as a potent catalyst for business and technology change. Greater enterprise value will accrue from enhanced controls, improved information quality and a more streamlined organizational structure.

Deloitte helps companies maximize the long-term business value of their Sarbanes-Oxley activities. With our integrated audit, tax and consulting capabilities, we bring all the tools and perspectives needed to help our clients not only achieve full Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, but also improve corporate governance, strengthen controls, and increase investor confidence.

We believe that an organization that views Sarbanes-Oxley as an opportunity to improve business performance, rather than as a mere exercise in compliance, will get a re-energized company, reassured investors, and an ultimate increase in enterprise value. To reap these benefits, however, a company must build the right controls and approaches into its compliance program from the beginning. Some key guiding principles for companies implementing Sarbanes-Oxley compliance programs include:

  • An internal control program adopted and endorsed by the board, audit committee, CEO and other C-suite executives.
  • Sarbanes compliance based on effective and efficient business processes, enabled by properly designed and implemented technology, executed by competent people.
  • An expectation that the accuracy, timeliness, reliability and transparency of a company’s financial information will garner the recognition of stakeholders.
  • Change as a necessary component for improving the organization.
  • The critical need for sustainability (this is not a one-time issue).
  • A financial commitment to strong governance.
  • A guarantee for open communication.
