SOX: Potential changes in the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. As I open my email these days, I see people suggesting that we are about to enter a new era of assessments for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404).
Some are excited; some are in despair. Some are keen to jump on a new bandwagon and sell seats at classes on assessing internal control over financial reporting using COSO 2013 (COSO is preparing to issue an update of its 1992 landmark Internal Control Framework). Others are lamenting the advent of a checklist-approach to SOX assessment that they believe is implicit in the drafts of COSO 2013. A few continue their quixotic attempts to brand the COSO Internal Control Framework (ICF) as inept, preferring a totally different approach.
So let me see if I can bring some sanity to this excited confusion. In my opinion, the 1992 ICF provides a reasonable basis for SOX assessments. Those who criticize COSO ICF as failing should look, not to any defect in the framework, but to defects in its use – by external auditors and those influenced by them. 8 Tips for a successful SAP licensing audit part 1.
