Overview Compliance issues have always plagued financial businesses, but the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) of 2002 increased the level of concern companies face concerning accounting and reporting regulations. The law, which applies to all firms that issue securities traded on US securities markets, contains several requirements for firms to comply with. It greatly behooves any company that must adhere to the SOA to maintain and archive their business communication in such a manner that it adheres to compliance guidelines. Read the literature MessageLabs has produced specific to the SOA to learn how your organization can better manage its business communications.
