I hate SOX. It is the bane of my existence.

Ken Lay? Is that you?

Bah, Lay never had to deal with SOX. He never had to answer for a single thing he did. In fact, the Creator is probably going to give him a break on his Final Judgement.

I'm a Mac administrator, it sucks even worse for Mac people.

When I worked for a biotech company, I had the double whammy of SOX and FDA regulations (and lots and lots of controlled systems). It's enough to make a girl cry.

Word like a MoFo.

Hire a specialist - a SOX maniac.

I assume you're talking about Sarbanes-Oxley?

So, go on, for us English peeps, just how does it make your life a nightmare?

And the greatest part about SOX is that it doesn't do a damn bit of good!

Justifying control systems and documenting everything.

Like ISO9001, but you've got to make a bunch of auditors happy at the end so they ask sooo much more crap.

Unless it's the RED SOX, I agree :)

Kinda like airline security. A bunch of BS legislation designed to make the public feel like the Nanny State is doing something about it.

I call them SarBollox. To their faces.

I dislike SOX as well, but what I hate more than SOX is PWC audits. the SOX auditors that we have in all the time for our accounting group are nice and dont hound us for crap. but the PWC auditors... grrrr.

Sorry, I forgot that comments can't have cut text..

Wiki on SOX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes-Oxley_Act)
423-3 (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2002/roll348.xml) in the House (Oxley), 522-3 (1 abstain) if you include Senate votes(Sarbanes).

[insert political rant here], and I raise a glass to ya.

Hey, SOX isn't exactly a walk in the park for us accounting guys, either.

It was a knee-jerk reaction to Enron, made so the SEC wouldn't be forced to take direct control of the accounting regulations, something that they have neither the time nor the money to do (the FASB does it at present).

Not that any of the above makes it any less of a pain in the ass.

your userpic never ceases to make me giggle.

that is all.

OH HELL YES!

>_<

It burns with the fire of a thousand hemorrhoids.
