Sarbanes-Oxley is good?

If you caught the April issue of the Harvard Business Review you might have stumbled across an aticle titled, “The Unexpected Benefits of Sarbanes-Oxley.“  Turns out SOX is helping companies:

  • strengthened control environment
  • more reliable documentation
  • better, less burdensome compliance with other statutory regimes
  • more standardized processes for IT and other functions
  • reduced complexity of organizational processes
  • better internal controls within partner companies
  • more effective use of both automated and manual controls
  • increased audit committee involvement
