Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) requires that CEOs and CFOs of public companies, in connection with the filing of periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, disclose any changes in their internal control systems. SOX section 404 further requires that management present a report assessing the effectiveness of its internal controls and that such assessment report be audited by a registered accounting firm. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued Guidance on Monitoring Internal Control Systems in January 2009. The guidance provides a model for company management to design and implement an internal control assessment program. This article addresses the issues of designing such a program.
