How our services work

WB-Resources, LLC specializes in handling complaints received by stakeholders who perceive potential misconduct relative to accounting, internal controls, and auditing matters. The items are those specifically stated in the language of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or in other words - things directly related to the responsibilities of the Audit Committee.

WB-Resources, LLC offers a variety of straightforward options for a company to implement section 301 (4) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. All of these options provide:

1. Each employees, directors, shareholders, vendors/customers, and competitors direct access to the Audit Committee.
2. Anonymity of the person registering the complaint as stated in the Act.
3. Secure, confidential procedures and technology.
4. SEC compliant record retention.
5. An independent source for the information, thereby increasing company integrity to all stakeholders.

We do not provide any mechanisms for reporting safety, security, ethical conduct violations or complaints. However, if these complaints are received we will refer the informant in a way that is consistent with each company's unique instructions and procedures.

Professional Fees

The language of section 301 (4) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act states the audit committee “shall establish procedures for the “receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints” received by the issuer regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matter. This “system” must be capable of receipt of complaints both from company personnel and third parties such as competitors, vendors, and consumers; and maintain the anonymity of complaints made by company employees”. The Act does not describe how this must be done, nor have any interpretations as to how this procedure was originally intended, been released. WB-Resources, LLC believes that compliance with the Act is best handled by a third party. The main benefit to outsourcing is the guarantee of confidential, anonymous submissions of concerns regarding questionable accounting and/or audit matters. Anonymous submission is a top requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Additionally, WB-Resources, LLC provides a simple and cost effective procedure for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints; thus saving you time and money.
