The benefits of working with Quartus

Experienced Team

We can draw on a proven team of qualified accountants, IT professionals and project managers who have direct experience of delivering SOX projects and enterprise wide change programmes in top 100 UK Companies.

This experience allows us to effectively plan and execute SOX projects from initial scoping to remediation and beyond, as well as supplying support for SOX projects that run into difficulties.

SOX Knowledge

We are familiar with the legislation and how it should be interpreted and applied. We have experience of working with the big 4 audit firms in a SOX environment, and we understand how to meet the expectations of the regulatory authorities, standards setting bodies and other stake holders, including investors and external auditors.

Project Management

Our staff have delivered large scale and complex enterprise wide change programmes and projects. As well as SOX specific initiatives, we have worked with enterprise systems such as Oracle and SAP, and with all areas of financial control, reporting and consolidation (to multiple accounting standards).

Change Management

SOX is a statutory requirement that is intended to bring about a fundamental change to an organisation's compliance and controls culture. Companies that do not embrace this change will continue to be at risk and will ultimately under perform. The legislators are aware of this so they have included provisions to monitor culture.

Quartus helps customers take a bold and proactive stance. Our compliance helps create a business culture that appreciates the need for robust financial controls and effective measures against fraud. We can assist in remodelling culture in companies who have been almost exclusively focused on short term revenue targets. Our experts know how to breakdown resistance and then rebuild belief and motivation so that managers and operators understand that a broader, more open culture will help them achieve even higher targets (and rewards).
