Product Review
"an engaging and thought provoking book" (
Information Age, December 2006)
Product Description
- The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was passed in 2002 in response to a series of high-profile corporate scandals and requires that public companies implement internal controls over financial reporting, operations, and assets; these controls depend heavily on installing or improving information technology and business methods
- Written by one of the most visible personalities on the tech-biz side of the SOX discussion, this highly readable, engaging book provides a clear road map for integrating SOX compliance into the fabric of everyday IT infrastructure and business practice
- Shows the reader how to leverage and use service-oriented architecture (SOA), a set of technologies that enables interoperation of heterogeneous computer systems, to achieve the level of internal controls over IT that SOX mandates
Reader ReviewsI found "Joy of SOX" a useful read, especially now that we are probably about to be further deluged with Sarbanes-type compliance issues. The book breaks it down: you don't have to be so frightened of SOx laws; in fact, conceptually, it can work in your favor. Pretty straightforward, well organized, written by someone who seems to get the management side of business, not just the technology area.
