The survey found that most companies complying with SOX had smoother audit processes and felt they had better control and understanding of their company as well as their responsibility. Ultimately, they found SOX to be valuable to their business process. If you would like to read the full article about the survey and its findings, please click on the link below:

Compliance Alert: Independent Comp Committees May be Required
The amendment below to the Wall Street Reform Act has been passed. The amendment still needs to be signed into law but it requires (among other things) an Independent Compensation Committee. This will impact certain exchanges and will most certainly be tested as part of Sarbanes-Oxley controls.
