DoubleCheck™ partners with Calvetti, Ferguson & Wagner (CF&W) to Orchestrate SOX Symphony For Sarbanes-Oxley Projects

March 12, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
DoubleCheck™ announces their continuing partnership with CF&W, a Texas accounting firm and leader in Sarbanes-Oxley consulting and internal audit outsourcing. CF&W offers a hosted SaaS that simplifies compliance with the SOX Act of 2002. SOX Symphony is powered by S-O Comply™ from DoubleCheck. The intuitive solution, known as SOX Symphony to CF&W customers, allows seamless integration of SOX-related data throughout an organization and can replace the rudimentary spreadsheet-based process currently used by many companies with a proven workflow and risk-centric methodology.

CF&W and DoubleCheck entered into this strategic partnership to capitalize on the synergies between CF&W's expertise and thought leadership in the Sarbanes-Oxley and Internal Audit Consulting arena and DoubleCheck's S-O Comply platform and software development expertise.

"We place great value on the relationship we've built with CF&W and are extremely pleased with the development of the customized, content-rich product delivered via S-O Comply," said DoubleCheck CEO Joseph Cincotta. "This is a terrific example of how our software can be customized and optimized for specific uses by our channel partners to create value for all parties."

The software service is continually updated to incorporate recent regulatory changes and guidance as well as continued lessons learned and best practices from CF&W client engagements. SOX Symphony is a harmony between hosted software and CF&W's SOX know-how and expertise.

"We chose DoubleCheck as a strategic software partner because of their commitment to work hand-in-hand with channel partners like us to deliver the best solution for their clients," said CF&W partner Marcus Wagner. "They recognize that the best ideas about product enhancements come from the real world experiences of their clients and their clients' advisors."

SOX Symphony is offered as a subscription-based software service over the web, which is particularly useful for companies with multiple locations, remote operations, and internal audit departments with significant travel requirements. It allows the assignment of documentation and certification responsibilities to process owners across an organization, which alleviates the potential bottleneck of work in a central accounting, internal audit or compliance department. SOX Symphony literally orchestrates information across company platforms and personnel, simplifying the often-difficult compliance processes.

"CF&W is a model Professional Services channel partner. CF&W takes full advantage of S-O Comply and will continue to take advantage of the DoubleCheck GRC Solution Suite. They differentiate themselves by delivering the know-how they've gained from experience by way of SOX Symphony, a world class Risk and Controls Framework Solution", said Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Jeff Farr. "This win-win relationship is one we hope to replicate with firms interested in creating a significant distance between themselves and their competitors."

DoubleCheck, LLC, is a leading financial compliance software solution company. S-O Comply is at the core of the DoubleCheck Business Governance vision. S-O Comply is a fully scalable and fully upgradeable product that enables the unification of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) across any organization, regardless of size. The DoubleCheck GRC Solution Suite offers a seamless migration path for product upgrades to those clients wishing to cross a bridge from initial SOX compliance to full GRC control.
