Banks required to meet the attestation requirements of SOX engage acxell’s services to implement an effective and comprehensive process to help document and test the effectiveness of key identified controls.  acxell’s comprehensive SOX Compliance review includes:

• A streamlined process of assessment and identification of significant controls (mapping)
• An effective comprehensive process of documenting and assessing the existence of key controls relevant to the processing of financial information - in accordance with the COSO framework
• A comprehensive test plan to validate the existence of identified controls
• Documentation of the results of testing and an assessment of the results which includes the development of remediation plan where necessary
• A concise report which helps document communication to the Audit Committee relative to the attestation process.

This process ensures full compliance with the documentation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and provides a powerful, flexible, cost-effective methodology designed to meet the needs and budgetary constraints of community banks.
