Why are Spreadsheets a possible regulatory problem under Sarbanes-Oxley? | Compliance Sarbanes Oxley

Why are Spreadsheets a possible regulatory problem under Sarbanes-Oxley?

A. Because there is only a single copy of the data for all users, authoritative statements are not easily verified.

B. Because there is only a single copy of the data for all users, authoritative statements are not easily verified.

a and b are the same………

Because data can be changed……SOX requires that business data be readable and not changeable by just ANYONE…….all changes to business data must be done through a program which enforces business rules and user authority to such data.
