Case Study: Southern Company achieves automated SOX compliance and streamlined control monitoring with SAI360 (BWise)

Southern Company optimized its Internal Control process to achieve streamlined SOX compliance

Southern Company, one of the largest electricity generators in the United States with four utilities serving about 4.4 million customers across the Southeast, needed to comply with the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act by replacing a manual, spreadsheet- and email-based control monitoring process with an automated data-collection solution.

Southern chose Nasdaq BWise for its user-friendly interface and central repository and rolled it out across all operating companies and subsidiaries. BWise standardized and automated SOX monitoring, provided customized reporting and a single source for documentation, increasing efficiencies in the internal control and certification process.
