Sarbanes Oxley Certification From SOX Challenge

This first course in the SOX Challenge curriculum introduces learners to the fundamentals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, its purpose, compliance requirements, and implications for corporations and individuals at all levels and functional areas.

It addresses in a practical way how key players in your company can understand what compliance means, how to achieve it, and their specific roles in doing so.

The implications of noncompliance are so critical that companies will be well served by encouraging participation in the course by anyone whose functional responsibilities could have an impact on SOX compliance.
