The Complete Guide To Sarbanes-Oxley
Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in response to major corporate and accounting scandals-and many consider the act to be the most significant change in corporate governance and securities regulations in the past seventy years. SOX requirements have brought about far-reaching changes for public corporations, private corporations, and nonprofits. Every manager and director should be aware of how the business landscape will be affected.
The Complete Guide to Sarbanes-Oxley answers in nontechnical language such questions as:
- What does SOX mean to me now?
- Do I have to worry about it?
- How much legal and accounting help do I need?
- What information technology requirements will I face?
