Product Description

Product Description

Everything corporate employees must know to understand--and comply with--the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

No law in recent memory has caused more confusion and apprehension in corporate America than the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). What Is Sarbanes-Oxley? is a concise, comprehensive overview of the act, filled with plain-English explanations of the vital details employees at every level must know and understand to help their firms achieve and maintain SOA compliance.

Summarizing the text of the law for ease of understanding and reference, this vital addition to McGraw-Hill's What Is . . . ? series provides readers with:

  • Guidelines for ensuring that a company's policies, procedures, systems, and controls are SOA compliant
  • Management certification responsibilities and noncompliance penalties­­under hot-button Sections 302, 404, and 906
  • Techniques for modifying existing control systems and programs to meet new SOA specifications

From the Back Cover

Everything You Need to Know About the Sarbanes-Oxley Act--What It Is, What Your Company Must Do to Comply, and More

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is unquestionably important to corporate America. 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
  • Techniques for modifying existing control systems and programs to meet new SOA specifications

Today's most competitive corporations--rather than view Sarbanes-Oxley as a painful and costly-to-implement headache--are using SOA as an opportunity to both revitalize their business practices and strengthen their competitive positions. Get the details of what your firm must understand to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in McGraw-Hill's straightforward primer What is Sarbanes-Oxley?

Insightful ! 23 Feb 2005
By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This dry-as-bones handbook gives essential overview information about the numerous, varied requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). Reading it is much easier than reading the Act itself, mainly because the book is much shorter. Author Guy P. Lander probably comes as close as possible for a practicing securities law attorney to writing in plain English. That does not mean that this book will appeal to the general reader. We believe it will see its best service as a handy reference on the bookshelves of executives responsible for discussing their firms' SOA compliance efforts with their attorneys, auditors and peers.

Format:Paperback
There's plenty of content on the Internet covering SOX but nothing beats a short focused book on the subject. Lander gives a good overview of the key sections of SOX and explains them in accessible language - despite being an attorney. A useful compliance checklist at the back also points out areas of applicability to foreign, private and Canadian issuers. Lots of useful advice but inevitably some might be out of date or changed by the time you read the book. So 'caveat emptor' as I believe these legal guys are fond of saying.

I purchased What is Sarbanes-Oxley to get a general idea on what the Sarbanes-Oxley Act defines within IT Enterprise Architecture.

It's been a total let down. It seems as if Lander is trying to relate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act entirely to a business context. In my view, this is not the case. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has more to offer to a company and Lander hasn't dicussed all of its aspects. Plus the structure of the content was more than fussy. I found it hard to understand how each of the chapters inter-relate with each other.

I wouldn't recommend the book to any IT professionals.
