Sarbanes-Oxley ITGC & Financial Control Automation.
Continuous, audit-ready evidence for internal controls over financial reporting — built for organizations subject to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 requirements.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), enacted in 2002 following major U.S. corporate accounting scandals, requires public companies to establish and annually test internal controls over financial reporting. Section 404 specifically requires management to assess control effectiveness and external auditors to attest to that assessment. SimpAudit’s continuous monitoring produces the kind of always-on ITGC and financial control evidence SOX audits expect, replacing manual quarterly sampling with year-round automated checks.
Internal Control Assessment
Management must document and test internal controls over financial reporting annually.
External Auditor Attestation
An independent auditor must attest to management’s assessment of control effectiveness.
ITGC Coverage
Access management, change management, and IT operations controls underpin the financial controls SOX evaluates.
Executive Certification
CEOs and CFOs must personally certify the accuracy of financial reports and control effectiveness.
Continuous ITGC Monitoring
Access, change, and operations controls are monitored year-round instead of tested in quarterly bursts.
Audit-Ready Evidence
Every control check produces a record usable directly as evidence for external auditor review.
SoD Enforcement
Segregation of duties — a core SOX control expectation — is enforced continuously, not just reviewed at year-end.
Does SimpAudit replace our external SOX auditor?
No — SimpAudit provides continuous internal evidence and control monitoring; the external attestation itself must still be performed by your independent auditor.
Is SOX only for US companies?
SOX applies to companies that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges (including some foreign private issuers), not exclusively U.S.-headquartered firms — confirm your specific applicability with legal counsel.
