SOX Regulation
What is SOX?
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a U.S. federal law enacted in 2002 to enhance financial transparency and ensure the integrity of accounting reports for publicly traded companies.
SOX aims to prevent corporate fraud by enforcing effective internal controls and protecting shareholder interests.
Beyond finance, SOX also impacts information security, access management, and data traceability, especially in multinational tech and financial firms.
Why is SOX compliance critical?
Compliance with SOX is mandatory for publicly traded companies in the U.S. and provides assurance of robust internal controls, traceability, and strong corporate governance.
SOX audit requirements include specific IT controls over data integrity, identity and access management, and digital records protection.
- Companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges or their subsidiaries
- Technology and financial organizations with centralized U.S. processes
- Entities audited by SEC-regulated firms
- Organizations handling large volumes of financial or transactional data
- Companies seeking transparency and governance certifications
- Financial penalties and legal actions from the SEC
- Loss of access to institutional investors and regulated markets
- Reputational damage from lack of financial transparency
- Increased risk of internal fraud due to weak internal controls
- Lack of operational risk visibility in critical systems
