Sarbanes-Oxley Training
SOX Compliance Training weekly updates
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s far-reaching implications for business require
a variety of employees to be trained on SOX compliance. SOX training as an overview
of the legislation is appropriate for CEOs, CFO, management and crucial employees.
Sabanes-Oxley training courses should cover internal controls (section 404), internal
auditing, documentation and division of labor solutions. A SOX workshop or seminar might also
address consulting companies and choosing an auditing firm.
Consider Sarbanes-Oxley training signup for employees:
- To understand SOX legislation and why it’s vital to the company
- To discuss the limits & solutions of internal controls
- Who are responsible for direct financial reporting
- To understand their particular role in SOX compliance
A Sarbanes-Oxley workshop may be as little as a day or an intensive multi-week training for job seekers who want to add “trained in Sarbanes & Oxley procedures" to their resumes. An alternate take on Sarbox training reviews the history of accounting scandals that led to the Sabanes Oxley Act and the criminal and civil penalties for violations of securities law.A one-day overview of must-have information for managers can vary in price from $1300 for a SOX workshop held by the American Management Association to $500 for the University of Delaware’s 8-hour program. An economical overview of SOX Compliance can be had through webinars for around $250. Some websites and blogs offer free webinars on specific aspects of dealing with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. For a multi-day class, including textbooks, that can provide SOXBase-Level Certification, expect to spend between $1000-$1500 (if the exam is passed and does not need to be retaken).
Finally, though typically abbreviated SOX or Sarbox, the correct spelling of the Act will also be instilled in the attendee, so there’ll be no more Sarbannes Oxley, Sarbanne Oxley, Sarbaines Oxley, or even Sarbain-Oxey.
