(c) Copyright 2006 by Gerald Czarnecki - All Rights reserved
When the regulations of Sarbanes-Oxley took effect in July

explored the new automated documentation and monitoring
systems that many companies are now using in an effort to
achieve efficiency and savings.
"Most companies are anxious for business unit managers to
assume accountability for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Yet,
they also realize that the biggest pain points in the
compliance process - and teh biggest opportunities for
achieving savings and greater efficiency - lie not in the
scramble for better documentation that they focused on in
year one, but rather in fundamental areas of financial
reporting such as testing, monitoring, and remediation or
mitigation."

Particularly for large companies that have operations in
multiple locations, the automated systems are advisable. It
is time for companies to accept SOX and employ the tools and
technology that will ease their efforts to comply with the
regulations.
