Sarbanes-Oxley

At Ryan, Sharkey & Crutchfield, LLP (RSC), we have the proven accounting expertise and detailed understanding of the SOX legislation required to guide clients through the process.  What's more, we have the business insight necessary to help your organization not only comply with the law, but also derive measurable benefits from the process.  Potential benefits include:

• Improved effectiveness and efficiency of internal control processes, resulting in reduced costs
• Enhanced confidence among financial institutions and lenders, who rely on a company's internal control and governance systems in their own due diligence process
• Greater value and appeal to prospective purchasers or joint venture partners
• Increased ability to attract qualified board members (who may be wary of serving on boards of companies lacking adequate internal controls)

In fact, companies of every size are choosing to comply with SOX standards - even organizations that are not legally required to do so.
