Sarbanes-Oxley Links

In my security management class, I'll be going over some of the basic provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Here are some helpful links:

First, of course, here's a link to the statute itself at a website approriately named Sarbanes-Oxley.com.

Second, here's a whitepaper from Mocrosoft that tells how one company used MS Office to create their internal control system.

Third, here's an article from Law.com that gives some good advice about document retention.

Fourth and finally, here's an article from last year that indicates many CIO's did not think that the July 2006 deadline for internal controls could be met. Which is maybe why the SEC extended the deadline to 2007.
