The Heart of Sarbanes-Oxley: SOX as a Catalyst for Continuous Financial Improvement

The Heart of Sarbanes-Oxley: SOX as a Catalyst for Continuous Financial Improvement: "An increasing number of companies are viewing Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance not as just a regulatory mandate but as an opportunity for continuous business process improvement. This has a lot to do with SOX compliance itself being a perpetual process and not a one-time event. The fact is, the best practices and technologies that can help ensure sustainable SOX compliance are also ones that have been proven to drive more predictable revenue, minimize days sales outstanding (DSO), reduce operational and administrative costs and even improve a company's competitiveness - quarter after quarter, year after year."
