Praise for ESSENTIALS OF SARBANES-OXLEY
Since its enactment in 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its Section 404 internal control requirements have caused many a great deal of ''pain and suffering!'' With its emphasis on what Sanjay Anand frequently reminds us is the ''real world,'' this book should reduce some of that pain as it provides a practical and very realistic approach for an effective implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley internal control processes. The book has references to the new changes in auditing standards and emphasizes achieving sustainable compliance-practical and realistic approaches.
