Course overview
This course will focus on how your organisation will add value from compliance of this Act and following the legal requirements. Serious criminal sanctions apply to lapses in these SOX requirements. The SEC and PCAOB have developed mandatory guidance on conformance with these legal requirements. This course will explain how to set about s302 and s404 to maximise benefit and minimise costs and it will also address other important sections of the Act.
This course is held by ACCA and endorsed by ACT.
