Welcome to the
Sarbanes Oxley Compliance Professionals Association (SOXCPA)
the largest Association of Sarbanes Oxley professionals in the
world
Dear Sarbanes Oxley Compliance
Professional,
Many years
after the bankruptcy of Enron, in the middle
of a new market crisis, we are still working in Sarbanes
Oxley projects around the world. But what is next?
No, I do not
want to think about Lehman Brothers, a firm that was worth
over $600 billion in assets
just a few days before filing for
bankruptcy on September 15, 2008.
I do not want
to think about all the other corporate failures.
I want to think about us.
What is
next for the Sarbanes Oxley professionals? What should we do?
In the middle of a crisis, we have
to be careful.
The good
news: Risk and Compliance management becomes much more important.
After the
market crisis firms have to comply
with a more serious interpretation of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
Auditors and Supervisors ask for more. Now, in the
new era of re-regulation, where all the analysts explain
that we are seeing the consequences of lax regulation,
we have to learn more, we have to do more.
Sarbanes Oxley knowledge and experience is VERY
important. Many laws and regulations are based on the SOX
principles, and firms need SOX experts for new risk and compliance projects.
