Segregation of Duties Whitepaper: Minimizing the Cost and Complexity of Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

Another resource available for those seeking to better understand and manage their SOD risks and issues.

Corporate and IT executives continue to feel the pressures of assuring
federal regulators, auditors, boards of directors, and stockholders that
corporate financial statements are accurate and precise. Additionally, they
must ensure that the personnel responsible for working with financial
information don't have inherent conflicts of interest. A critical element of
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, known as avoiding Segregation of Duties conflicts
(SOD conflicts), will continue being a top concern. Furthermore, manual
management of SOD conflicts creates too high a risk – especially for global
businesses where hundreds of individuals are managing literally tens of
thousands of financial functions.
