A publicly traded food manufacturer was embarking on becoming compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. They needed help in documenting and testing the internal controls of a European subsidiary. They received bids from Big 4 firms and were looking for less expensive alternatives.

Relevante provided consultants whom the client felt were of equal quality to those offered by the Big 4 but at almost half the price. The professionals were fluent in the native language of the subsidiary host country and had significant experience performing IT audits, documenting and testing internal controls and interfacing with external audit teams.

Our consultants effectively assisted the client with meeting the needs of these new regulations while satisfying mandates from the company's audit committee and demonstrating compliance to the external auditors.
