The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires publicly traded companies, management boards and public accounting firms to incorporate internal access governance audit controls and identity management procedures for financial reporting to reduce corporate fraud. Sarbanes-Oxley does not state how businesses should operate, but rather it defines the records to store and the retention duration that can range from five years to indefinite.
IT operational responses to managing and sustaining the internal audit controls identified in The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) compliance are numerous and often not unified. Additionally to monitor logs, detect system problems and pinpoint abnormalities, there are few cost effective options.
For enabling cost effective SOX 302, 404 and 802 compliance, publicly traded companies, management boards and public accounting firms are often challenged by their operational budgets and unable to account for the effectiveness of their internal audit controls.
Avatier Identity Management Software suite (AIMS) attests to every user account access and reports on the effectiveness of its identity and access management audit controls for SOX compliance financial data reporting. AIMS enables publicly traded companies, management boards and public accounting firms to sustain SOX compliance at lower costs through IT automation and business user self-service administration.
