Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Solution

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) aims to strengthen overall business performance by providing guidelines for standardization in managing internal controls and enforcing consistent financial reporting practices through a strict adherence to applicable guidelines. SOX affects all publicly-traded corporations, as well as private companies that plan to become public entities. SOX aims to promote corporate responsibility, increase public disclosure, improve the quality and transparency of financial reporting and auditing, and strengthen penalties for securities fraud and other violations. Of primary concern to the higher corporate level executives is that SOX holds CEOs and CFOs personally responsible for the true and correct representation of the company's financial condition and reports.

In order to avoid unexpected or unknown non-compliance, organizations must gain a 360-degree insight into their business operations. Accuracy, visibility, and access to options, in a real-time environment, are three key items executives need to successfully monitor the demands of SOX. Quantum Strategy provides the entire management team with continuous, current, customized information with knowledge of every aspect within a company's field of expertise.
