Sarbanes Oxley Compliance
In the wake of accounting scandals associated with WorldCom and other major corporations, the U.S. government took action to create a set of standards for business accounting practices. The result of this action was the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was formalized in July of 2002. The act is actually the combined product of two separate bills passed earlier that same year (one by Senator Sarbanes, the other by Senator Oxley). The fact that the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) package generated only three dissenting votes in the House and Senate combined indicates how seriously legislators regarded the tenets included in this act. The set of standards included in SOX requires businesses to track and disclose financial information, much of which was not previously regulated. Two of the most central requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are laid out in sections 302 and 404. Section 302 increases the responsibility and accountability of executives when it comes to dealing with and reporting on financial information related to the company in question. Section 404 increases standards for operating procedures (as they relate to company finances) by mandating the creation of an "internal control report." Items such as the internal control report are new to many companies. In order to quickly learn about and comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, the use of SOX software is essential. Here at Enterprise Solutions, we offer QViS and Q4bis software for maintaining compliance with SOX statutes and sections. The QViS software package is also useful for complying with a number of other standards, including those designated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
