Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) ITGC Audit Concepts and Coordination

Demystify SOX Section 404 IT Audits

Sarbanes-Oxley compliance audits, particularly Section 404's IT General Controls (ITGC) requirements, can feel opaque. This course lifts that fog by walking through the entire audit framework: the conceptual backbone, how audits are coordinated across teams, what walk-throughs and testing actually involve, and how remediation works when control gaps are found.

Designed for anyone involved in SOX IT audits—finance teams, IT staff, compliance officers, auditors—the course removes the unknowns so you can participate effectively and understand what auditors are really evaluating. By the end, you'll grasp the logic behind SOX controls and how your organization's IT practices fit into the broader compliance picture.
