What is SOX?

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), passed in 2002, was designed with the goal of increasing transparency in corporate governance and financial reporting through the implementation of accounting and disclosure requirements. It also was designed to formalize a system of internal checks and balances.

It is applicable to every publicly held American organization, each international organization that has registered securities with the SEC, and every accounting firm or financial services organization that services either of the previous categories of businesses.

Why You Need A SOX Compliant Managed

Why You Need A SOX Compliant Managed IT Services Partner

Compliance with SOX is an ongoing concern for IT professionals and executives. They need to understand the two sections of SOX that have clear implications for data management, reporting, and security.

Section 302

Section 302 relates to an organization’s financial reports. It requires that both the CEO and CFO of an organization personally certify that all records are accurate. As part of this, they must take personal responsibility for internal controls and review these controls within the past 90 days. As a result of this, there is a clear incentive for organizations to have a high degree of IT security.

Section 404

Section 404 discusses additional requirements for monitoring and maintenance as it relates to internal controls of the organization’s accounting and financial information. It stipulates that companies need to have an annual audit of these controls performed by a third party. Once completed, this information then goes directly to the SEC.
