SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act)

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for SOX?

SOX Section 404 requires management assessment of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). IT general controls (ITGCs)—access management, change control, and operations—are foundational to every SOX audit.

1. IT General Controls (ITGC)

We operate the four pillars of ITGCs: logical access controls, change management, computer operations, and program development. Each is documented, evidenced, and ready for your external auditor.

2. Segregation of Duties

We implement role-based access controls that enforce segregation of duties across financial systems, preventing unauthorized transactions and satisfying a key SOX requirement.

3. Change Management

Every change to systems supporting financial reporting follows a documented, approved process with testing evidence and rollback procedures. Our change management controls are designed for SOX audit scrutiny.

4. Access Reviews

We conduct and document regular access reviews for all systems in SOX scope, ensuring only authorized personnel have access and that terminated employee access is promptly revoked.

5. Audit Evidence Packages

We prepare ITGC evidence packages organized by control objective, including population samples, configurations, access lists, and change tickets—reducing audit preparation time and external auditor fees.
