Automated Networks

About Automated Networks

A Taipei-area practice focused on SOX readiness audits — walkthroughs, documentation, and remediation that finance teams can defend.

Why we exist

Many Taiwan finance teams face SOX expectations for the first time through a parent listing, a cross-border acquisition, or a lender covenant. Generic control templates rarely survive contact with local approval paths, language mixes in evidence, and lean staffing. We formed Automated Networks to sit in that gap: readiness work that respects how your close actually operates.

How we work

Engagements begin with scoping of significant accounts and locations, then move into process-owner walkthroughs. We write findings in plain language ranked by assertion risk, and we sequence remediation so busy season does not erase progress. We do not issue external audit opinions; our role is to prepare management to stand behind its assertion with evidence that external auditors can reuse.

Values in the field

  • Prefer observed practice over polished narratives.
  • Rank findings by assertion risk, not by volume of red ink.
  • Leave ownership with your process owners after handoff.
  • Speak in the vocabulary of controls, evidence, and close calendars — not slogans.

Our office is in Chung Ho City, Taipei. Visits and workshops can be arranged there or at your premises across Taiwan.
