Events for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Ensuring Best Practices for Internal Controls and Financial Consolidation

The close, consolidate, report process does not operate on data alone. People and process are critical intersection points. Absolutely essential to data quality and process control, internal controls form the backbone of the closing cycle. Renewing the consolidation process requires organizations to evaluate, incorporate and improve as necessary their internal controls for financial data. We will discuss and review the opportunity at hand as organizations improve their internal control environments in conjunction with automating financial consolidations.

To begin this Webinar, The Hackett Group will present a contrast between World-Class and Peer Group companies in terms of their control environment and ability to manage compliance activities associated with Sarbanes-Oxley. You'll be introduced to best practice usage (automation, standardization, integration), the volumes and types of controls implemented and the associated impact on the cost of compliance.

Then, Deloitte will review best practices for Transforming your Financial Consolidations with the Deloitte Close, Consolidate, Report (CCR) Performance Blueprint. The CCR performance blueprint is a roadmap that guides organizational design for internal controls and the close process. You will see how the Deloitte Close, Consolidate, Report Performance Blueprint:
* identifies opportunities to strengthen controls and increase your confidence in the CCR cycle
* identifies the specific process and application controls that support CCR compliance objectives as defined by the COSO framework
* enables clients to design and implement the appropriate application and process controls while implementing the Cognos Controller solution with Deloitte.
