Learn SOX the way it’s actually practiced
Eleven guided video walkthroughs of the complete COLZ methodology — taught by a practitioner with twenty years of Big-4 advisory experience, using one worked example from readiness through testing.
Filer categories, 404(a) versus 404(b), the 2026 SEC attestation proposal, and working backwards from your first 10-K to a program start date.
Benchmarks and when each is defensible, overall versus performance materiality, and the memo that defends the number.
Coverage analysis, the aggregation trap of individually immaterial units, and specific-risk scoping.
From financial statement line items to business processes — quantitative significance, qualitative risk, and where key reports first enter the picture.
The 17 COSO Principles and their 81 Points of Focus without the jargon — and why weak ELCs multiply testing everywhere else.
The fraud triangle applied practically, management override, journal entry controls, and linking fraud risks to specific controls.
Control frequency and sample sizes, the logic behind the standard tables, and what a deviation actually means.
The RCM as the program’s spine — risk statements that are actually risks, the five elements of a control description, and mapping to assertions.
Design versus operating effectiveness, workpaper standards a Big-4 reviewer expects, and evaluating a real exception on camera.
The annual cycle — refreshing materiality and scope, rolling the RCM forward, and working with auditors as a rhythm rather than an event.
Every video, captions and transcripts, and the training materials. One-time purchase, permanent access — videos unlock here as they publish.
