Auditing Issues: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: Opportunities for the Profession

Perry M. Henderson, CPA, MPA

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 creates opportunities for CPAs, auditors, actuaries, and others. This course is directed primarily to CPA firms who wish to provide non-audit SOX services to SEC issuer companies, or "SOX-like" services to non-issuers. It provides a broad overview of four key sections of the Act that create these opportunities, and focuses attention on Section 404, which creates the need for new compliance-assistance and value-added services.

Topics covered include:

  • Section 201 -- Prohibited Activities
  • Section 301 -- Audit Committees
  • Section 302 -- Corporate Responsibility for Financial Reports
  • Section 404 -- Management Assessment of Internal Control Marketing considerations

I like the quiz questions after each section to test what you learned. I think these quiz questions help to enforce what you just learned and prepare you for the test.

I found this course to be really well organized, very informative with the perfect level of detail and particularly refreshing due to the marketing perspective provided (ways that practitioners might be able to offer additional services to their clients and/or serve new clients).
