It can also be complex and confusing, for everyone from the employees who must be doubly aware of what they can - and cannot - do to the officers who must take legal responsibility for the actions, errors, and omissions of those employees. "What is Sarbanes-Oxley" provides you with a plain-English overview of the Act to help ensure that your firm achieves and maintains top-to-bottom Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) compliance.Written in clear, concise, and readable language, with helpful checklists so that no requirements are overlooked, this SOA primer covers: Guidelines for ensuring that your company's policies, procedures, systems, and controls are Sarbanes-Oxley compliant Management certification responsibilities - and noncompliance penalties - under Sections 302, 404, and 906.
