Corporate Governance - Sarbanes Oxley Compliance
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has changed the corporate regulatory climate significantly. Stringent corporate governance demands are now placed on public companies; their officers, directors, auditors, accountants, and attorneys; investment bankers; and security analysts.
Public company officers and directors must respond to a complex and comprehensive law that subjects them to personal liability for noncompliance. Audit Committee members must ensure internal corporate adherence and oversee the work of public accounting firms. CEOs and CFOs must certify the fairness and accuracy of financial statements and the effectiveness of the internal controls. Almost every department in a public company is affected by some aspect of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Goldstein Lewin provides a broad range of services to assist companies in achieving compliance, including:
- Audit and SEC reporting
- Tax compliance and planning
- Audit Committee consulting
- Internal audit
- Computer consulting
- Tax preparation and consulting for executives and board members
- Management consulting in developing Internal Control Document
- Appraisal and valuation services (Goodwill impairment)
- ERISA audits - 401(k) or pension plans
- Outside subcontracted accounting work that may provide internal controls
- Preparation of companies' internal financial statements
- Forensic accounting
- Litigation consulting
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has far-reaching consequences, subjecting public companies to greater scrutiny on many fronts. Through the services listed above, we can assist directors and officers in meeting their corporate governance responsibilities.
