For the past few years, organizations have struggled to effectively and efficiently meet the financial reporting requirements introduced by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While most companies have been successful in completing their SOX compliance work each year, the manual procedures they employ require a great deal of effort, increase the potential for errors and fail to provide management with a holistic view of the state of compliance.
With the advent of similar worldwide financial reporting regulations – including JSOX in Japan, the Loi de Sécurité Financière in France and Bill 198 / CSA 52-313 in Canada – multinational organizations will experience even greater complexity in financial reporting compliance. As the regulatory environment continues to become more complex, organizations have a greater need to make compliance sustainable and repeatable.
