• Sommario/riassunto: 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 an
