Beyond Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

Anne Marchetti is the Sarbanes-Oxley practice leader at Parsons Consulting. With this book, she gives a broad overview of the process by which corporations can implement and maintain compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley. There is a lot of process, workflow and checklist discussion here, but don't expect the sort of detail that will allow you to implement any of this on your own.

Obviously, this book serves a marketing purpose. If you asked a major consulting firm for a proposal on how they would help you implement Sarbanes-Oxley, the proposal would be much like this. It might be shorter, but it would be equally high-level and just as short on details.

Having said that, the book isn't bad. If you are responsible for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, it might be nice to have a copy handy just to read how other people approach the process. [12/6/05]
