  • How your internal controls and organizational management create the foundation of compliance

Why you should read How to Comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404

Author Michael Ramos provides comprehensive, meticulously detailed information. He offers a detailed guide to evaluating your company’s internal controls. He addresses Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 legislation, as well as associated Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regulatory requirements, even covering the COSO and COBIT reporting frameworks. While expert and exhaustive, the book suffers from a dense, academic writing style. getAbstract.com suggests it to those who seek a very detailed compliance overview and who already have experience with understanding auditing standards and related governmental regulations.
