Your IT department's actions are crucial to meeting the new demands of the Sarbanes‐Oxley Act (SOA).

To make matters worse, you may have additional problems: incorrect or missing systems documentation, not including IT in SOA discussions, and IT attitudes or knowledge gaps that hinder your SOA compliance. So how can you overcome these worrying difficulties? © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
