By the way, its worth mentioning that the cost and effort of SOX compliance is driving many smaller businesses up the wall. See what a small community bank had to say about SOX:

Not surprising really, when you consider that compliance costs run into millions of dollars and smaller companies JUST don’t have the internal resources, and external consultants are very expensive.

I don’t hear any comments from the consulting chaps.

They must be wishing that there’s a new SOX passed by Congress every year.

Comments?
