Addressing the Key Implications of Sarbanes-Oxley
Contributed by IBM - Tivoli Group
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) introduced significant changes to financial
practice and corporate management regulation. Passed in the wake of numerous
corporate scandals, SOX is a complex piece of legislation that requires
companies to make major changes to bring their organizations into
compliance. The act holds top executives personally responsible for the
accuracy and timeliness of their company’s financial data — under threat of
criminal prosecution. Thus, SOX compliance has become a top priority for
publicly traded companies.
The act also sets deadlines for compliance, all of which will take effect during the next two years. Of the sections already in effect, the most publicized has been Section 302, implemented in August 2002, which requires CEOs and CFOs to personally certify quarterly and annual financial statements. The first indictment of a CEO for failure to comply with the act occurred in 2003. This is just the tip of the iceberg — violating SOX can bring fines up to $5 million or 20 years in prison.
