Sarbanes-Oxley White Papers

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: Compliance Management Framework

Overview Sarbanes-Oxley (Public Law 107 - 204) is a reaction to the many corporate accounting scandals that have plagued Wall Street in recent years. Sarbanes-Oxley was enacted to "Protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws, and for other purposes." The act not only legislate additional controls - it significantly increases penalties. Solutions from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) provide the hard evidence and actionable direction that can help the organization monitor critical processes and heighten accountability. In addition, CA solutions use an effective security-management framework of operational controls to further reinforce accountability.
