  • I am myself a BSc in Information Systems, with 2 years of accounting before I started studying for the BSc
    My experience is that it helps alot if you have someone with accounting knowledge to help you.
    My current position is as a Sarbanes Oxley Advisor in a larger company in Norway, but I wouldn’t had gotten far without the accounting people helping me on difficult parts of the task.



  • IF you have an IT background do the isaca.org certification for CISA. I did mine in 2000 and they have proved valuable for my job prospects. Very well respected and recently voted as the best certification to have.

  • Hi , everybody
    I have two question is below here ?

    1. / If to be a SOX project leader is it must be qualify auditor certi
      holder?
      ( I am a IT manger post , it is need go to apply auditor cerf ? )
    2. / I am just major study on Computer science and just have primary
      principle accounting concept . IF top management assign me to
      be a sox team leader and start to evalute all the Sox need of
      document’s resource and procedure , what is myself to do first ??
    3. / What is Sox must be compilance document should be past to SEC,
      do you have any checklist and the submit these document the
      time prority ?

    There is no formal requirement for a Sarbanes-Oxley project manager. It is for senior management to determine the best way for the business to fulfil their requirements. In principle, there is no reason why and IT manager should not run the SOx project.
    However, I would caution against the project being IT led for the simple reason that the legislation is about FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. It is a core competency to understand what business processes affect the financial statements and how. IT is an important, but supporting, competence.
    Obviously, up to a point, project management can be just about the project management and not the content, but if the Project Manager does not have sufficient accounting/financial skills it is essential that there is sufficient qualified accounting resource available to the project.

    I have never heared anyone say that this is a requirement, but I would imagine that it is absolutely an advantage

    if new join for company for sox position is it need to do the 10Q and 10K
    document compilance first ?

    I am afraid I can’t answer that question.
    I myself have never been that much involved in these filings.

    Second , it is follow up the section 302 and 404 process all the smart
    link document compilance ?

    If I understand you correctly, yes.
