 Soxcess! August 25, 2007

The provisions for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance are only mandatory for
public companies that file a Form 10-K with the SEC - however, more and
more companies are being encouraged {pressured?} to voluntarily
comply with SOX - a good example of which is the United States Postal
Service. Why is this? Because in a free market capitalistic society,
there exists a need to bolster investor confidence in the reliability of
publicly reported financial information. No one wants another Enron.
This book does a great job of laying out - soup to nuts - the SOX
landscape and its key provisions. Everything from the AICPA checklist to
WorldCom misconduct, and everything in between (Arthur Andersen
[remember them?], COBIT, COSO, Enron, Kenneth Lay [departed], and Sox
Sections a plenty - presenting an excellent and at times compelling
picture of Sox, how we got here, and where we're going.
SOX was enacted July 30, 2002 - so if you feel the need to rapidly
graduate off the "SOX dummies list" [their title, not mine], then by
all means get this book!, and be a Soxcess!
It's All There August 3, 2007
Joseph L. Hardin (Hughesville, MD United States)
Great book. Simple and complete. Sox is explained in easy to understand language. I recommend.
Great for non-financial executives June 8, 2007
Stewart W. Robinson (New York, NY)
I am a CFO of a public company as well as a partner in a CPA firm. The book was very informative but for me it was 75% stuff I already knew. The software chapter was heplful but seemed biased. The book has several minor technical errors but nothing that would really mislead a novice. I bought 5 more copies to give to my controller, board chairman and a division president, as well as to two clients. My six year old son gets a real kick out of the title and exclaims "Sarbanes Oxley for Dummies!" every time he sees it on my night table (could he be a budding SOX consultant??).
