What's Inside

Strategically preparing your control environment for SOX compliance early can positively impact not only your IPO's outcome, but also your organization's performance long after. By starting SOX efforts well in advance of a targeted exit date, CFOs empower themselves and their teams to uncover potential material weaknesses early, effectively communicate those findings to the audit committee chair and board of directors, and buy themselves sufficient time to properly address them.
AuditBoard’s new guide, SOX checklist for pre-IPO companies, explores why a formal SOX program is the best way to uncover material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) early —and provides a blueprint for getting started.
