Sarbanes-Oxley mandates that a companys independent auditor attest to managements assertion concerning their internal controls. For most businesses, Sarbanes-Oxley necessitates a significant effort in risk assessment, identification/documentation of processes and controls and testing and remediation for every business line, division and/or location. Internal testing must be conducted prior to auditor testing to ensure an unconditional assessment of audited financial statements and the certifying executives must have reasonable personal knowledge of the assessment and have substantiating evidence to back the internal controls attestation.
