  • SAP GRC Implementation

    The regulations, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, require companies to document their business processes, identify risks and define controls to mitigate them, and regularly demonstrate the effectiveness of those controls.

    To comply with these regulations and to protect the integrity of the business data, the organizations need to go beyond the static documentation of internal controls to actively ensuring that they are effectively guarding against fraud and errors, while streamlining business processes to reduce costs and inefficiencies.

    Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX) 2002 Act History

    • Known as the “Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act”.
    • Issued in as a response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals Enron, Tyco International, WorldCom.
    • Since then SOX-type laws have been subsequently enacted in Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Israel, India, South Africa, and Turkey.
