Why this course?

Description

This 14-hour comprehensive online course equips finance, audit, and compliance professionals with in-depth knowledge of Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX) compliance and internal control implementation. Covering Sections 302 and 404, COSO framework, control testing, IT controls, documentation, and audit strategies, this course ensures you're audit-ready and governance-strong.

You’ll gain the skills to design, document, and evaluate internal controls, build risk control matrices (RCMs), identify red flags, and prepare for internal/external audits. Rich real-world case studies like the Enron scandal, Putzmeister’s internal control overhaul, and global compliance failures are used to anchor learning.
