What Is The Sarbanes Oxley Act?

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 2002 in response to a series of accounting scandals, including the Enron scandal. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates new or enhanced accounting requirements for public companies in the United States. Among the key provisions of the law are as follows:

  • The disclosure of more detailed financial information must be enhanced, and senior executives must certify that the information is accurate.
  • Public company audits require independent accounting firms, and these firms cannot perform certain non-audit services for their audit clients.
  • A public company‘s internal controls must be established and maintained, and senior executives must certify their effectiveness.

    • By improving transparency and accountability in financial reporting, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act restores investor confidence in financial markets. In the United States, the law has impacted the way public companies and accounting firms operate, and it has also influenced corporate governance practices abroad.

    What Is SOX Compliance?

    Public companies and their accounting firms ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by complying with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements. The compliance process involves the implementation and maintenance of internal controls over financial reporting, ensuring that financial statements are accurate and complete, and complying with the laws concerning disclosure and certification.

    A number of activities are involved in SOX compliance, including implementing controls to mitigate financial reporting risks and as necessary, companies should also monitor their ongoing compliance with the act and adjust as needed.

    In addition, shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders must receive reports about the company‘s compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

    Who Needs To Achieve SOX Compliance?

    In the United States, all publicly traded companies are subject to SOX. Companies listed on major stock exchanges as well as those traded over-the-counter are included under these requirements.

    Despite the Sarbanes-Oxley Act being applicable only to publicly traded firms, it has substantially impacted corporate governance practices abroad, with many private companies adopting similar practices.

    Log Management For Sarbanes Oxley

    In order to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, log management is crucial. Public companies are required to maintain accurate and complete records of their financial transactions, including details about who performed the transactions, when they occurred, and why.

    Financial reporting requires companies to collect logs from all their systems and applications. This includes servers, databases, and other applications that are used to process financial transactions.

    It is also important to ensure that logs are not altered or deleted, companies must store them in a secure, tamper-proof manner. In order to detect suspicious activity or unauthorized access to financial systems, companies must analyze logs regularly. Logs must be retained for at least seven years in order to comply with SOX record retention requirements.

A trace analytics tool, such as the one provided by Logit.io, can be used to detect and prevent financial fraud as well as ensure the accuracy of financial reporting by analyzing financial transaction data.

    Trace analytics can be an invaluable tool for companies seeking to comply with SOX, particularly in the area of financial reporting and fraud prevention.
