"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 and author, Sarbanes-Oxley and the Board of
Directors
"As a former CFO and CIO, I found this book to be an excellent
synopsis of SOX, with impressive implementation summaries and
checklists."
--Michael P. Cangemi CISA, Editor in Chief, Information
Systems Control Journal and author, Managing the Audit
Function
"An excellent introduction to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act from the
perspective of the financial and IT professionals that are on the
front lines of establishing compliance in their organizations. The
author walks through many areas by asking 'what can go wrong' types
of questions, and then outlines actions that should be taken as
well as the consequences of noncompliance. This is a good book to
add to one's professional library!"
--Robert R. Moeller Author, Sarbanes-Oxley and the New
Internal Auditing Rules
"Mr. Anand has compiled a solid overview of the control systems
needed for not only accounting systems, but also the information
technologies that support those systems. Among the Sarbanes books
on the market, his coverage of both topics is unique."
--Steven M. Bragg Author, Accounting Best Practices
"An excellent overview of the compliance process. A must-read
for anyone who needs to get up to speed quickly with
Sarbanes-Oxley."
--Jack Martin Publisher, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
