There is a company in Bangalore by name - Pierian Services which hires people for SOX compliances. They normally hire CA.s who have valid passport and are willing to travel abroad for months.Practical exposure is not mandatory but it helps if you have that .

Their website address is https://pierianservices.com/

I think the Salary they pay depends on your qualification and expertise in the area of your interest.

What you mean by SOX certification? Do you mean the certificate given by the Auditor u/s 404 of the Act or the assertions given by the Directors u/s302?

I do not think there are any courses available finishing which you become a SOX consultant. However there are many companies selling software for SOX compliance mastering which may help you render better services to your clients.

1) I do not know about institutes conducting SOX courses.

2) If you have good exposure to internal audit, you can apply for vacancies existing in companies like I have mentioned in my post earlier, to get into SOX audits

@ Topic starter,

You say u have good knowledge about SoX!!!! Then u ask " is there any institute for SoX certification????"

If u know enough about SoX, u should know that the Sox Certification is given by the Management or an Auditors appointed by them.

If u want to get into SoX Compliance u need to work for the Big 4 and u seriously need to improve your writing skills too.
