Sarbanes-Oxley and the IT Organization: A Survival Guide

Overview For CIOs and other IT professionals, taking a "Wait and see" attitude about Sarbanes-Oxley compliance is no longer an option. Section 404 compliance - as defined by the PCAOB auditing standards - is the most critical Sarbanes-Oxley issue facing large companies and their IT organizations. Sarbanes-Oxley and the PCAOB standards clearly justify implementing strong general IT controls, such as change management and IT asset management. Implementing these controls delivers benefits that go far beyond simply surviving a Sarbanes-Oxley audit. They provide opportunities for improving processes and reducing costs, redundancies, complexity and waste.
