Protiviti made another Sarbanes-Oxley compliance survey 2013. You can download complete report and the presentation. Key findings are:
- SOX compliance costs are rising, as are external audit fees. However, for most organizations the cost of SOX compliance remains at a manageable level.
- The automation of controls remains an enticing option and perhaps the “final frontier” for achieving significant improvements and efficiencies.
- More companies are shifting SOX compliance oversight responsibilities away from project management offices (PMOs) to internal audit functions.
For Dummies updated Sarbanes-Oxley cheatsheet. There are to chapters. How to limit corporate liability after Sarbanes-Oxley and Sarbanes-Oxley practices for good corporate governance. As you can imagine you will need much more information to achieve SOX compliance. But you have to start somewhere right?
