Is there a "Sarbanes Oxley for Dummies" reference out there? | Compliance Sarbanes Oxley

Is there a "Sarbanes Oxley for Dummies" reference out there?

Or some really simple reference available? A co-worker keeps quoting "sox compliance" and I want to be able to reference the source she is quoting.

As a matter of fact, there is!

I think I’ll buy one myself, I work in accounting and we get a lot of these quotes throughout the day as well. Very frustrating when they don’t make it clear what the rules are.

The author of the book also has a website with a message board:

www.abtechlaw.com (click the SOX tab) You can get answers to your questions from attorneys, auditors, governance officers and other SOX professionals.

    The problem with SOX, it is so convoluted that not even the people who wrote it can make sense of it.

    Best thing: document, document, document. And when you are done, document some more. Cover your steps with documentation.

    Sign and date every piece of paper you see and don’t throw it away.

    That will keep you in the clear.

    Pretty stupid, I know. But guess what? AS 2 is about to be superseded anyway, as announced yesterday by the PCAOB.
