Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that all publicly traded companies maintain all correspondence, communications, electronic documents, faxes and application data and records between themselves and their public auditors for five years. It requires the CEO and CFO to sign certifications that the statements in the quarterly report are true and can be supported with all necessary documentation. Sarbanes-Oxley requires companies to be able to supply records supporting public assertions about their financial statements and prevents retaliation against employees who report abuse. It also mandates that all communications, documents and workflows should both originate and be stored on central servers to ensure that management always has copies of every stored document and is able to utilize software and hardware products to better protect and access their centrally stored information.
