The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (officially titled the Public Company Accounting
Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002), signed into law on 30 July
2002 by President Bush, is considered the most significant change to
federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. It came
in the wake of a series of corporate financial scandals, including those
affecting Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom. The law is named after
Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael G. Oxley. It was
approved by the House by a vote of 423-3 and by the Senate 99-0. This
book illustrates the many Open Source cost-saving opportunities that
public companies can explore in their IT enterprise to meet mandatory
compliance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley act. This book will also
demonstrate by example and technical reference both the infrastructure
components for Open Source that can be made compliant, and the Open
Source tools that can aid in the journey of compliance. Although many
books and reference material have been authored on the financial and
business side of Sox compliance, very little material is available that
directly address the information technology considerations, even less so
on how Open Source fits into that discussion. The format of the book
will begin each chapter with the IT business and executive
considerations of Open Source and SOX compliance. The remaining chapter
verbiage will include specific examinations of Open Source applications
and tools which relate to the given subject matter, and last a bootable
?live?

* Only book that shows companies how to use Open Source tools to achieve
SOX compliance, which dramatically lowers the cost of using proprietary,
commercial applications.
* Only SOX book with a bootable-Linux CD containing countless
applications, forms, and checklists to assist companies in achieving SOX
compliance.
* Only SOX compliance book specifically detailing steps to achieve SOX
compliance for IT Professionals.
