SOX

Navigating Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance can be a complex and resource-intensive process for companies of all sizes, especially those preparing for an IPO. Traditional "bottom-up" approaches to SOX can be cumbersome and time-consuming, focusing on every potential risk regardless of its significance.

Tickmarks offers a smarter solution. We take a top-down, risk-based approach aligned with your specific business structure and activities. This approach, built on the COSO framework, prioritizes identifying critical risks and implementing effective controls to mitigate them. This ensures your SOX program is efficient and impactful, focusing on the areas that truly matter.

We go beyond just identifying risks. Tickmarks works closely with you to design and implement essential controls, document your processes, and conduct independent testing. We can also recommend improvements and streamline your SOX program through automation. Whether you need a one-time project or ongoing support, we offer flexible solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Partner with Tickmarks and achieve a more efficient, effective, and cost-conscious approach to regulatory compliance.
