Sarbanes-Oxley

Corporate financial management has never been more critical than today. As the spotlight focuses squarely on the accounting and management processes of organizations of all sizes, IT departments are under pressure to provide the resources and infrastructure that comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.

Under Sarbanes-Oxley guidelines, management's annual internal control report must contain: 

• A statement of management's responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the company’s financial reporting
• A statement identifying the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of this internal control
• Management's assessment of the effectiveness of this internal control as of the end of the company's most recent fiscal year
• A statement that an auditor has issued an attestation report on management's assessment
