Cultural Change: Sarbanes-Oxley and Information Technology

by Seth J. Gillespie

This book, Cultural Change: Sarbanes-Oxley and Information Technology, is for people, groups, or organizations impacted by the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulation passed within the United States.


In particular, the author looks at the relationship between Information Technology and Sarbanes-Oxley, and the ultimate opportunity to improve IT despite the constraints SOX places on organizations. This understanding allows the reader to improve communication with executives and management and better argue the pros and cons of SOX despite transformational changes required within the context of Information Technology.


The reader will ultimately have a fuller understand of SOX compliance within the context of Information Technology, thus helping to gain the support needed to move forward within organizations that may be initially reluctant or skeptical about making needed changes.
