In the latest episode of our Risk & Accounting Advisory podcast, Neal Beggan, Risk Advisory Leader, and key leaders from Cherry Bekaert’s Risk Advisory SOX practice, Gareth Montague-Smith and Peyton Black, discuss the concept of SOX “Lite,” a controls diagnostic service for smaller or private companies that can help prepare companies to go public, help remediate material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, provide efficiencies for companies facing difficult audits and more.

Listeners will learn about:

  • Why a company might need “SOX Lite” compliance services
