Compliance
by leon on January 24, 2006

Hugh Taylor, vice president of marketing at SOA Software , says that because information technology systems are critical in all significant internal controls, the big challenge is sorting out the good needles from the bad.
Good systems also give the forensic accountants the necessary tools to spot trouble. Taylor warns against software packages that claim to be "SOX compliant", as if there were some official certification system. He also makes the point that real compliance requires different parts of the organisation - IT, accounting and business managers - working together to develop an integrated framework.
With that in mind, it's encouraging to note the growing number of CIOs with more strategic clout now sitting on company management committees and reporting directly to their CEOs.
