This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many IT professionals who are held accountable for the quality and integrity of information generated by their IT systems are not well versed in the intricacies of internal control, which is critically essential. Although risk may be managed by IT, the risk management process may not be formalized or structured in a way required by an organization's management or auditors. This is true for organizations worldwide. The authors clearly explain the current focus on enhancing corporate accountability, understanding the audit committee's responsibility, adopting an internal control framework (COSO), considering fraud in an audit or review of internal control, implementing IT controls and a compatible IT governance framework (COBIT), and seizing the opportunity of turning compliance into a competitive advantage. The document provides assessment ideas and approaches, IT control objectives mapped to COSO for disclosure and financial reporting purposes, and a road map to address the murkiness of these regulatory times.

Book excerpt: Praise for Sarbanes-Oxley Guide for Finance and Information Technology Professionals "Effective SOX programs enlist the entire organization to build and monitor a compliant control environment. However, even the best SOX programs are inefficient at best, ineffective at worst, if there is a lack of informed, competent finance and IT personnel to support the effort. This book provides these important professionals a needed resource for and road map toward successfully implementing their SOX initiative." —Scott Green Chief Administrative Officer, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and author, Sarbanes-Oxley and the Board of Directors "As a former CFO and CIO, I found this book to be an excellent synopsis of SOX, with impressive implementation summaries and checklists." —Michael P. Cangemi CISA, Editor in Chief, Information Systems Control Journal and author, Managing the Audit Function "An excellent introduction to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act from the perspective of the financial and IT professionals that are on the front lines of establishing compliance in their organizations. The author walks through many areas by asking 'what can go wrong' types of questions, and then outlines actions that should be taken as well as the consequences of noncompliance. This is a good book to add to one's professional library!" —Robert R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (officially titled the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002), signed into law on 30 July 2002 by President Bush, is considered the most significant change to federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. It came in the wake of a series of corporate financial scandals, including those affecting Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom. The law is named after Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael G. Oxley. It was approved by the House by a vote of 423-3 and by the Senate 99-0. This book illustrates the many Open Source cost-saving opportunities that public companies can explore in their IT enterprise to meet mandatory compliance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley act.
