SOX Review

In year 2002, the US Congress approved and passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) to protect the stakeholders from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in organizations, and to improve the accuracy of corporate disclosures. 

The best plan of action for SOX compliance is to have the appropriate security controls in place to ensure that financial data is valid, accurate and protected against loss. Developing best practices and relying on the appropriate tools helps businesses automate SOX compliance and reduce SOX management costs.
