IT SOX & ITGC Advisory
Practical, senior-level support to help you prepare for SOX, strengthen IT general controls, and coordinate effectively with Internal Audit and external auditors.
Overview
What this service covers
Whether you are preparing for your first year of SOX or refining a mature program, we help you focus on what matters most: clear control ownership, evidence that stands up to audit scrutiny, and a sustainable approach that scales with growth.
SOX readiness & scoping
Define in-scope systems, key reports, and control boundaries; align ITGC scope to financial reporting risk and your audit approach.
ITGC design & operating effectiveness
Assess and strengthen access, change management, and IT operations controls; identify gaps and implement practical remediation.
Testing support & evidence strategy
Create efficient test plans, evidence standards, and walkthrough support to reduce rework and improve consistency across control owners.
Auditor coordination
Translate technical realities into audit-ready documentation, support PBC requests, and help resolve issues quickly and professionally.
Common questions
A few of the topics we typically address early in an engagement.
Do you work with first-year SOX programs?
Yes. We help establish scope, control ownership, documentation standards, and a realistic timeline so your first year is structured and defensible.
Can you support coordination with external auditors?
Yes. We help translate technical details into audit-ready documentation, prepare for walkthroughs, and support PBC requests to reduce friction and rework.
Which ITGC domains do you cover?
Access management, change management, and IT operations are core. We also support application controls and key report considerations where relevant.
Do you provide testing support?
Yes. We can help design test plans, define evidence standards, and support operating effectiveness testing alongside your team or Internal Audit.
What if we already have controls but they are inconsistent?
We focus on standardizing control language, evidence expectations, and ownership so execution is consistent across systems and teams.
How quickly can you start?
Timing depends on current readiness and audit deadlines. We can typically begin with a short discovery to confirm scope and priorities.
