FAQ

SOX compliance refers to meeting the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which governs internal controls and financial reporting for public companies. It ensures transparency, reduces fraud risk, and enforces accountability at the executive level.

For CPA firms and their clients, SOX is not just about ticking boxes—it’s about building investor trust, supporting audit readiness, and reducing reputational risk. Non-compliance can result in fines, failed audits, or even legal liability, especially for companies considering an IPO or acquisition.

Scrubbed offers both end-to-end and modular SOX support. Our services include:

  • Risk assessments and control identification
  • Walkthroughs and evidence gathering
  • Control design and documentation
  • Testing for design and operating effectiveness
  • Remediation tracking
  • Audit liaison and reporting

Whether you need full SOX implementation or support with one specific phase, we deliver scalable solutions tailored to your timeline and resources.

We follow the COSO framework as our foundation, aligning controls to the 5 components and 17 principles of internal control. We assess risk, tailor control design, and test key areas—especially those impacting financial reporting accuracy.

For newer or smaller firms, we simplify and scale the approach. For mature organizations, we ensure documentation and testing meet SEC scrutiny and audit standards. Every engagement is built around audit defensibility and operational efficiency.

Scrubbed has deep SOX experience across:

  • Biotech – managing clinical trial controls and FDA-aligned documentation
  • SaaS & Tech – handling deferred revenue and complex system integrations
  • Financial Services – supporting dual-reporting environments and risk matrices
  • eCommerce – covering inventory systems, digital sales controls, and fulfillment
  • Professional Services – managing timekeeping, billing, and project-based controls

We understand that each industry faces different challenges, from investor pressure to regulatory nuance, and we design engagements that reflect that complexity.

Absolutely. We help map SOC 1 Type 2 reports to internal SOX controls, ensuring vendor-related risk is addressed. We also align all internal controls to COSO principles to meet auditor expectations and simplify reporting.

This is especially helpful for companies relying on outsourced IT, payroll, or finance systems. We make sure these third-party dependencies don’t become audit liabilities.

Our process begins with a quick maturity and risk assessment. We then scale the documentation, testing volume, and control granularity based on your:

  • Business model
  • Risk exposure
  • Audit complexity
  • IPO status or investor requirements

We avoid boilerplate solutions and design frameworks that are easy to adopt, audit, and maintain—so you don’t waste time over-documenting or duplicating effort.

You can expect structured, audit-ready outputs including:

  • Risk Assessment
  • Risk control matrices (RCMs)
  • Process narratives and flowcharts
  • Test scripts with results and evidence logs
  • Recommendations (Process Improvement Opportunities) and Deficiency Logs
    Gap Analysis and Remediation plans
  • Weekly or monthly status reports
  • Executive dashboards

We adapt reporting cadence based on client preferences and engagement size—keeping your team and auditors aligned without being overwhelmed.

You can start with a no-commitment discovery call where we assess your SOX readiness, current gaps, and resourcing needs. From there, we can:

  • Conduct a readiness assessment
  • Launch a pilot project for one control area
  • Or take on full-cycle SOX ownership

Our pricing is flexible and can scale with your company’s size and internal bandwidth. Whether you’re preparing for IPO, post-merger compliance, or annual audit support—we’re ready to help.
