SOX Compliance Software

SOX Compliance Software across O/S, DB and Apps

In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was enacted in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals. Similar corporate governance has since become a requirement in Europe (E-SOX) and Japan (J-SOX). South African companies listed on stock exchanges overseas governed by SOX are also required to be complaint.

Compliance also encompasses the examination of the controls within an Information Technology infrastructure.
