Sarbanes-Oxley Readiness and Ongoing Support

The initial and ongoing requirements of Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are onerous, time-consuming, and full of pitfalls. Companies who have not engaged external advisors, or who have engaged external advisors who are not CPA firms have encountered significant problems in complying with these requirements.

CF&W has significant SOX 302 and 404 experiences, working with numerous publicly traded mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap companies. We understand that smaller companies require a practical, cost-effective approach.

"CF&W provided a high level of partner attention and Sarbanes-Oxley expertise during the final phase of our first-year implementation of SOX 404.  Their invaluable assistance was key to our successful completion of the project."
