Future of SOX Consultant 2069
-
Hi, I am new to this forum. I would like to know the future of SOX Consultant. This year being 4th year of SOX the demand for SOX consultant would have come down…So how is the job market for the SOX Consultant…

I think it depends on where you are.
For FPIs, it is only our 2nd year of compliance and, as a result there is a serious shortage. In addition, I would suspect that there is a demand in smaller companies.
Over the next few years, however, I expect that the role will be managed by internal audit rather than externally, therefore reducing the demand for external consultants.

Hi - Below are several related threads in our forums
… I agree with EMM that ‘being in the right place at the right time’ is always helpful. There will certainly be a demand for Auditors (particularly IT and general internal auditors) given the reliance that businesses have on technology. Even when SOX audit positions may be well established in the area, there are always some opportunities where folks retire or change jobs.
