• Develop and execute detailed project plans to ensure SOX readiness projects are delivered on time and with high quality, resulting in well-designed and effective controls.
• Draft risk and control matrices (RCMs), including key systems, tools, and service providers, based upon review of management’s artifacts (i.e. process documentation, dataflow diagrams, etc.) and walkthroughs across stakeholder groups.
