Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-08 00:00:00 Chris Wicecarver I really liked this book because it explains the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) by way of a case study of a fictitious company, DexCo, that is struggling to manage both its day-to-day operations and its corporate compliance obligations. The company is staffed by realistic people, in typical management roles, that are described in terms of how they are impacted by SOX, and how they eventually come to better understand SOX and then use that understanding to help shape DexCo's SOX implementation so that SOX is ultimately a benefit and not a burden. This book is NOT the SOX Act in paperback form, instead this an introduction to SOX from a realistic business perspective. It explains that SOX is much more than just a check-list, and that it can be used as a vehicle to improve a business in a whole variety of different ways. I would say that this is the sort of book that the senior management team would read before calling in the SOX consultants. It gives you a useful taste, and paints the complete picture of SOX without getting bogged down in all the fine details, which will, of course, be of different importance to each and every company that implements it.
