Introduction

In today’s business environment, financial transparency and internal control are more important than ever. For many organizations — especially those with U.S. exposure — SOX (Sarbanes‑Oxley) Attestation is a powerful way to demonstrate the reliability of their financial reporting systems. At TopCertifier / ISO‑Certification‑Malaysia, we provide SOX attestation services that help Malaysian companies strengthen corporate governance, reduce fraud risk, and build investor confidence. ISO Certification Malaysia

What Is SOX Attestation?

• SOX attestation refers to an independent evaluation of a company's internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR), based on the requirements of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act. ISO Certification Malaysia+1
• The process involves risk assessment, control testing, documentation, and formal reporting, ensuring that financial systems are reliable, auditable, and free from material misstatement. ISO Certification Malaysia
• SOX compliance helps improve organizational accountability by enforcing controls over financial reporting, reducing the likelihood of fraud, and raising the standard of corporate governance. digitalguardian.com+1
