SOX (part of United States federal law) requires the chief executive and chief financial officers of public companies to attest to the accuracy of financial reports (Section 302) and require public companies to establish adequate internal controls over financial reporting (Section 404). Passage of SOX resulted in an increased focus on general IT controls, as these support financial processing and therefore fall into the scope of management's assessment of internal control under Section 404 of SOX.
This webinar will speak directly about the importance of general controls (GC), application controls (AC) and spreadsheet controls as they relate to Sarbanes-Oxley. In the initial years of SOX compliance, many felt that a material weakness could not result from a failure of any type of IT control. The world had changed. IT is no longer simply a back-office function. IT is of strategic importance to ICFR. It must be adequately evaluated from both a GC and AC level
The COBIT framework may be used to assist with SOX compliance, although COBIT is considerably wider in scope PCAOB and SEC guidance states technology controls should only be part of SOX 404 to the extent specific financial risks are addressed. This approach can significantly reduce the scope of IT controls required in the assessment. Scoping decision is part of the entity's top-down risk assessment and can utilize a baselining approach. However, to understand the aspects of how to scope and baseline information technology controls, the assessor must have a strong understanding of how technology controls impact internal controls over financial reporting.
