Strengthening Governance and Accountability in IT Operations of Public Companies
Accurate and verifiable corporate disclosures
The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is a federal law that establishes requirements for all U.S. publicly traded company boards, management, and public accounting firms. The purpose of the legislation is to improve the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures.
Executive responsibility and corporate audits
Sections 302 (“Corporate Responsibility for Financial Reports”) and 404 (“Management Assessment of Internal Controls”) are particularly relevant to information professionals. Section 302 holds CEOs and CFOs personally accountable for disclosure accuracy, while Section 404 requires corporations to have their internal controls audited and reported annually to the SEC.
