We advise public companies on SEC rules and regulations; cost-efficient and effective Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance; and how to build a strong control environment through entity-level, accounting and IT controls. We also work with private companies on an IPO path to better understand and prepare for SEC rules and regulations subject to publicly traded companies. Private companies can also attract more favorable financing terms by strengthening internal controls and leveraging governance best practices with our assistance. Finally, we work with other types of organizations from governments to non-profits on governance, risk and compliance (GRC) challenges. GRC is our business!
