Risks arise whenever data alters its journey through an organization’s technical infrastructure. This is especially true when there isn’t a defined process to inform data consumers of changes to the data pipeline.  Learn how I improved an organization’s ability to track and control its financial reporting data lineage.

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 is a federal law that established auditing and financial regulations in response to several accounting scandals in the early-2000s.  Among other things, SOX section 404 requires management to develop and maintain adequate financial reporting controls.  Often organizations prefer to co-source or outsource the management of their section 404 compliance program.  Learn more about how I provided one client with end-to-end SOX program support.

Section 303A.07 (c) of the NYSE requires a listed company to have an internal audit function to provide management and the audit committee with ongoing assessments of the listed company’s risk management processes and internal control system. Learn how I joined a newly public company to build it an internal audit program.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326).  This established the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, which replaced the legacy allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) as the way to evaluate impairment of financial assets.  SEC filers needed to comply with the guidance beginning in 2020.  Implementing CECL had a huge impact on existing risks and controls.  Learn how I helped one bank inventory the impacts and evaluate how to update its risk and control suite.
