Forgive me for this indulgence, I've never done this before. But this month marks the third anniversary of Sox First.

Three years ago, I was invited to write about ethics, governance and Sarbanes-Oxley. Being an Australian, the irony was not lost on me.

Since then, I've had an absolute ball. I've made some great friends in the United States and around the world - including several who dropped comments - and in many ways, the blog's daily discipline has changed my life and career. For the better.

To everyone out there, thank you so much. It's been fantastic and I owe you all a debt of gratitude.
