White Paper
Bill 198 and Internal Controls for Technology
Much has been written about the internal control and disclosure requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX") in the United States following many high-profile cases of corporate malfeasance and deceptive practices. Not surprisingly, Canada has enacted its own solution to today's governance and financial reporting requirements, factoring in the US experience and their requirements, officially known as Bill 198.
Although Bill 198 (like SOX) does not directly address IT controls, the law has significant IT and information security implications because most companies' financial reporting and operations depend heavily on information technology.
This paper details the three elements of Bill 198 that have the most impact on IT, namely:
- Control (internal controls over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures)
- Evaluation (governance, measurement and recordkeeping)
- Disclosure (reporting and certification)
