What is SOX 404 compliance?

SOX Section 404 requires public companies to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). Section 404(a) requires management to assess and report on control effectiveness. Section 404(b) requires an independent auditor attestation for accelerated and large accelerated filers.

What is internal audit outsourcing?

Internal audit outsourcing allows companies to engage an external firm to serve as their internal audit function. This provides access to senior-level expertise, specialized skills, and independent oversight without maintaining a full-time internal audit department.

What is an FCPA compliance audit?

An FCPA compliance audit evaluates an organization's anti-corruption controls, third-party due diligence processes, and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act — particularly important for companies with international operations in Latin America, EMEA, and other high-risk regions.

Our Approach

Why companies choose
Garibyan.

We believe every company deserves a senior advisor who is personally invested in their success — not just assigned to their account.

Senior-Led, Always

Every engagement is led and executed by a CPA with hands-on advisory experience. You work directly with the person doing the work — from kickoff through final deliverable.

Data & Analytics-Driven

We leverage data analytics and advanced automation tools to accelerate documentation, pattern recognition, and control testing — delivering faster results without sacrificing depth.

Hands-On & Personalized

You're not one of hundreds of clients. Every engagement gets dedicated attention from a senior advisor who knows your business, your risks, and your team by name.

Outcome-Focused

Board-ready reports, defensible workpapers, and remediation roadmaps — not a binder that collects dust. We stay engaged until the work is done right.

Background

I've spent over 14 years leading risk, audit, and compliance programs at every level — from executing engagements for SEC-registered public companies at BDO USA, to directing internal audit across the U.S., Latin America, and EMEA at Herbalife Nutrition, to owning the full SOX 404 program and IT compliance function at a global tech company.

Along the way, I've served as engagement lead on audits selected for PCAOB inspection, supported engagements through IPO readiness, and worked across industries including technology, digital media, retail, real estate, and consumer brands. That breadth has given me the ability to walk into any organization, understand the risk landscape quickly, and deliver work that holds up under scrutiny — whether it's an external audit, a PCAOB inspection, or a board presentation.
