A public company, which was not initially an "accelerated filer" had to comply with the SOX 404 reporting requirements. With limited corporate staff, they turned to Keiter Stephens' Risk Advisory Services practice, which assisted the client's staff in planning and performing the documentation and testing of internal controls. Our IT Audit specialists performed all of the work for general computer controls, saving the client from needing to hire or outsource additional expertise from larger, higher-cost firms.

When a multi-national client with a four-person tax department had a key manager on maternity leave, we provided one of our tax managers as the outsourced staff who facilitated the completion of the federal and state income tax returns. Our tax manager was familiar with international and multi-state tax issues from serving our audit and tax client base and was able to spend about 20 hours a week on the outsourcing project for three months to help the client meet critical filing deadlines.
