SOX – don't just comply…

Without a doubt, many companies have seen SOX as nothing but a burden and a cost. To them, SOX is merely another regulatory obligation – costing them a great deal of time and money in auditing and consulting services but something that they just need to comply with. Most of their business processes have remained manual and any documentation gathered for SOX has stayed hidden in a network folder or a filing cabinet.

On the other hand, successful companies will seize upon SOX as an opportunity to optimize business processes, reduce financial reporting risks and enhance shareholder value. Risk management will become pervasive within these companies and create a solid foundation from which to perform business. Corporate performance management will take a lead in mitigating management’s liability in meeting SOX requirements.

These successful companies will also realize early on in their compliance project that SOX is something that will not go away and that needs to be dealt with in a manner that can be repeated, audited and automated. A fragmented approach to SOX or isolated solutions that only offer a fraction of what’s needed for complete compliance (such as automating elements of documentation or testing) will fail to deliver. They will seek effective, sustainable, simple ways to comply.
