 The easiest way to learn about SOX October 17, 2006
Douglas J. Tucker (Chicago)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
The author has somehow found a way to make this incredibly arcane subject interesting and easy to digest. This book, unlike every other SOX book I have seen, is filled with practice tips, checklists and witty commentary and is written in a way that makes the statute and the SEC's rules easy to understand for lawyers and non-lawyers alike. It also provides other key sources of SOX information and is a pleasure to read. She should consider changing the title to "Sarbanes-Oxley for Lawyers, Executives and other Dummies who Don't Have the Time or Patience to Wade Through the Other Dry and Boring Books on the Subject". I highly recommend this book to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
Well written... January 23, 2007

I am a CPA that has been doing ERP and tax related work. I accepted a position for a corporate client doing SOX compliance. The book gave a great overview on the SOX issue. I recommend this book if you are needing to familiarize yourself with SOX.
The dummies title is deceptive. February 26, 2006

This is actually a pretty sophisticated reference book. I was surprised to see a Sarbanes-Oxley Dummies book, and ended up taking a look at it more out of curiousity than anything. It turned out to be just what I needed to get a better understanding in this area, as the CFO of a company that is about to be acquired and will soon have to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. I bought a number of books on the subject and this is surprisingly the most useful reference. I think it also great that the author, an attorney and CPA, put her contact information in the book in case readers have questions and she is starting a special update website and forum for Sarbanes-Oxley professionals. I do wish the book reviewed more products and hope the the author posts information on her Website about SOX products that are available and other professionals take time to do the same.
Great Book! March 10, 2006

Provides Excellent Overview of SOX March 10, 2006
Gary Lapotka (Madison, WI)

My previous experience with SOX has been as an auditor focusing on Section 404 compliance. This book provided an easy to read and interesting overview of all the aspects of the SOX law. It gave me a good understanding of what the law was intended to accomplish by providing oversight and ensuring independence for auditors, directly making CEOs and CFOs responsible and accountable for accurate reporting and effective controls, and compelling companies to provide information that investors can rely on. Also provides a facinating history of the sordid events that lead to its passage. I recommend it even for audit and accounting professionals.
