Compliance

Whether implementing a new program, initiating key elements of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, rationalizing your SOX controls and processes or measuring performance of various compliance processes, Lyndon Group can assist in an effective and efficient manner. We can assess current controls to ensure the organization is operating within applicable laws and regulations and organizational commitments such as the Code of Ethics/Conduct, internal policies and contractual obligations.

Cost of Compliance Reviews

We conduct evaluations that look at the efficiency, responsiveness and the degree to which any particular process or activity delivers the business objectives, including mandated and voluntary requirements.

Background Screening Program Assessments

Implementing and documenting effective programs focused on helping organizations to select and promote employees and leaders and do business with partners who have a reputation for integrity and competence.

Ethics and Compliance Program Assessments

We conduct reviews of organizational compliance programs using the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the recognized standard for an effective compliance program. Our reviews include an assessment of the overall compliance program to ensure whether the elements recommended by the Guidelines have been satisfied.

Hotline / Helpline Assessment or Implementation

Proven to be a valuable tool to help prevent and detect fraud, criminal conduct, policy violations, and/or questionable conduct, and as a means for employees and other stakeholders to communicate other issues/concerns with the organization.

Policies and Procedures

We evaluate the methodology for policy and procedure development, implementation and management of organizational polices and procedures, including assessing whether policies are designed and operating as intended.

Privacy and Information Security

According to a complex maze of state and federal laws, you are responsible for the security and privacy of personal or protected health information that you collect, manage and share. Your responsibility also extends to any third parties that manage or store personal information on your behalf, including outsourced payroll, benefits and medical or professional service providers.

Sarbanes-Oxley / J-SOX

Lyndon Group provides a range of services to help you achieve compliance with the requirements the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Sarbanes-Oxley) and the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law (J-SOX).

We approach Sarbanes-Oxley and J-SOX initiatives from a risk based and business process perspective. We understand that business transactions that affect financial reporting are not limited to accounting and finance but also include operations. This allows us to provide the client with added-value by identifying not only internal control gaps, but also business process/systems improvements and best practices that can offset, and in some cases exceed, the investment in compliance initiatives.

We will provide your executive team, as well as operating activities, the independent expertise you need to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and J-SOX. Our approach is designed to address multiple business challenges and industry-specific control aspects.

Lyndon group does not perform external financial audit work and because conflicting interests do not compromise our independence, we have greater collaboration with our clients' external auditors. When Lyndon Group is engaged to assess and test your internal controls, there is a clear independence that can be relied upon by your external financial auditors.

Our services include:

Backed by best practices and established frameworks, Lyndon Group has the right experience, methodologies and tools to help your organization comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
