We have just published a new white paper on Sarbanes Oxley compliance using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The title of the paper is The Role of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in Supporting Compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The paper is written by Mark Schneider, PMP and Project Server expert.
Here's the first two paragraphs from the white paper:
“There is a very old joke in which the CEO of a corporation asks the CFO, “How much does 2+2 equals?” In the punch-line the CFO answers, “That depends. How much do you want 2+2 to equal?” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes it clear that if the CEO and CFO wish to remain outside of prison walls, the answer had better be “2+2 = 4.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act goes even further - the CEO and CFO must be able to prove that the 2s are valid numbers and that the addition operation is correct.
In this paper, we will discuss a summary of SOX and the help you understand how the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) features map to the SOX requirements and how you can use MOSS 2007 to support SOX compliance efforts in your business.“
You can download this white paper at www.mindsharp.com from our premium content web site. We will be following up with a poster that outlines the concepts in this paper as a handy job aid for those who (and nearly everyone does) need to be compliant with SOX.
FYI.
