A pairing for SOX

Hummingbird and Certus Software announce a technology partnership to offer organizations a solution to implement and certify internal controls to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 financial business processes.

Hummingbird reports it will integrate Certus' flagship software product, the Certus Governance Suite, into Hummingbird Enterprise to provide internal controls and assurance software based on a comprehensive compliance platform for SOX Sections 103, 302, 404, 409 and 906. Certus' software is said to help corporations document, implement and sustain reliable internal and disclosure controls required by law, reducing risks and improving transparency for management.

Certus further claims its suite enables documented activities to be instituted, executed, monitored, tested and demonstrated, while leveraging Sarbanes-Oxley conformance as a change agent for immediate accountability and future competitive value.
