Enterprise Governance
Model

Profiting from Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

No matter how much you want to forget 2003, and say it was all a "bad dream"--- the year 2004 is here and there's no escaping compliance initiatives including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. By this summer, Section 404 will require many companies to have internal controls automated and integrated into standard operating procedures. But most companies are still trying to separate compliance hype from reality and distinguish effective compliance initiatives from the many quick fix "compliance solutions" that don't scale or integrate into existing IT infrastructure. The market is overwhelmed with point solutions and short term fixes. BUT given the fact that compliance will be an on-going quarter by quarter event that is not going away, do you want to just settle for quick fixes and non scalable solutions? This is like paying more than once for the same Real Estate!

It's time to get real - test your compliance readiness and get real guidance that you can actually use in planning your critical compliance initiatives for 2004 and especially for compliance for Section 409 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is real time reporting (48 hour reporting from the time the event occurs) of events that are not in compliance or events that will dictate notification to the "street".

Contact your Freshwater Partner representative to learn how the next -generation of enterprise governance can help you meet critical deadlines and reduce your organization's cost of compliance with a manageable, scalable, and sustainable foundation for enterprise compliance today and for many happy new years to come. Wouldn't you rather be celebrating New Years Eve 2004 than worrying about the year 2005 to come?
