Risk & Compliance >> Sarbanes Oxley
Service Description:
With the advent of Sarbanes and Oxley (SOX), U.S. public companies whose stock is traded on U.S. exchanges find that investment in technology centric-controls, such as General Computing Controls (GCC), are a “must have” from an audit and compliance perspective.
Service Scope:
The Manta Group's SOX offering takes into account an organization's priorities and demands and leverages compliance requirements to provide the platform for a technology-centric organization to improve the quality and reliability of its services (which is the ultimate intention of SOX). Unlike traditional approaches that treat SOX as an external demand that needs to be attended to on regular basis, the Manta Group uses a risk-based model to correlate the investment in controls with the organization's tolerance for risk in an informed, transparent and documented environment.
Subject Matter Expertise:
- The Manta Group has extensive experience in designing, documenting, implementing and testing ITGCC's using CobiT.
- Our consultants have at least 5 years experience in developing and implementing the CobiT framework to meet audit requirements. Our experience level for ITGCC's as it relates to financial reporting compliance exceeds 3 years.
Service Brief:
Customer Requirement - Design, document, implement, test and verify controls required to meet SOX compliance requirements.
Manta Solution - The Manta Group deployed a team of consultants to analyze and document the current control environment. Using a risk-based approach, a desired state was designed, documented and implemented to meet the minimal requirements for SOX compliance. Manta's expertise was essential in driving business value for the customer. Service improvements were realized along with a clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the IT organization.
