Services / SOX & Internal Controls
SOX & Internal Controls
Design, documentation, and assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, built to meet SOX requirements without burying your team in process.
SOX Readiness
A control environment scoped to your listing timeline and 404 requirements.
ICFR Design & Testing
Controls documented under COSO and tested the way auditors test them.
Remediation
Material weaknesses and significant deficiencies closed, with evidence.
Controls that pass testing, not just documentation
Undocumented controls are one of the six gaps that most often delay public filings, and building SOX documentation from scratch takes 12 to 18 months when it is left too late. A control environment that exists only on paper fails the first time an auditor tests it.
Corviniti designs controls around how your business actually operates. Our team has tested ICFR as PCAOB auditors, so we document controls with the precision, evidence, and ownership auditors look for, and we right-size the framework so a lean finance team can actually operate it.
Full 404(b) attestation usually has a grace period after listing, but you need a reliable control environment from day one. We build the framework that fits your stage and scales with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does SOX apply to us?
SOX 302 certifications apply from your first periodic report as a public company. Management’s 404(a) assessment typically begins with your second annual report, and auditor attestation under 404(b) depends on your filer status. Emerging growth companies get relief from 404(b) for up to five years.
How long does SOX readiness take?
Building documentation from scratch takes 12 to 18 months for most companies. Starting earlier means the work happens on your schedule instead of the SEC’s.
We received a material weakness. What now?
Root-cause analysis first, then remediation with evidence. A material weakness closes only when the fixed control has operated effectively for a sufficient period, so speed of diagnosis matters.
Can a small finance team really sustain SOX?
Yes, if the framework is right-sized. Over-scoped programs fail because teams cannot operate them. We scope to what is material and design controls that fit how your team already works.
Do you test controls or just document them?
Both. We design, document, and operate management testing programs, and we coordinate directly with external auditors on their testing.
