Provides Excellent Overview of SOX

My previous experience with SOX has been as an auditor focusing on Section 404 compliance. This book provided an easy to read and interesting overview of all the aspects of the SOX law. It gave me a good understanding of what the law was intended to accomplish by providing oversight and ensuring independence for auditors, directly making CEOs and CFOs responsible and accountable for accurate reporting and effective controls, and compelling companies to provide information that investors can rely on. Also provides a facinating history of the sordid events that lead to its passage. I recommend it even for audit and accounting professionals.

The dummies title is deceptive.

This is actually a pretty sophisticated reference book. I was surprised to see a Sarbanes-Oxley Dummies book, and ended up taking a look at it more out of curiousity than anything. It turned out to be just what I needed to get a better understanding in this area, as the CFO of a company that is about to be acquired and will soon have to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. I bought a number of books on the subject and this is surprisingly the most useful reference. I think it also great that the author, an attorney and CPA, put her contact information in the book in case readers have questions and she is starting a special update website and forum for Sarbanes-Oxley professionals. I do wish the book reviewed more products and hope the the author posts information on her Website about SOX products that are available and other professionals take time to do the same.

Challenging the high-priced consultants

We've had a lot of fun in our office challenging the high priced consultatants and lawyers, asking them questions out of a Dummies Book. Good common sense overview. Contains lots of practical tips for managers and governance officers.

Finally a SOX book I can follow

I have read numerous publications and books on Sarbanes-Oxley, but now we finally have a one stop shopping source for all our SOX information needs. I find it a great resource to pull out for quick answers. I really enjoy the cheat sheet for quick reference. Thanks for this great resource for anyone trying to understand and follow the ever evolving world of SOX.
