The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) has taken corporate governance, disclosure and corporate accountability to new heights. It is arguably the most important set of changes the US securities markets have faced since the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certainly it is the most sweeping set of changes public companies have had to face in recent times.

So is there a single technology solution? No, in a word. Compliance with SOX will require many changes to the way an organization operates, governs itself and interacts with regulators and other stakeholders. But within this enterprise wide initiative, clearly technology can play a significant part.

Specifically, our product, Global Entity Management System (GEMS) can help an organization in a number of ways.

• Section 403 Filings by Insiders for the sale of stock and options
• Section 404 Management Assessment of Internal Controls
• Section 302 & 906 Certification of Financial Statements and Internal Controls
• Accelerated Reporting
• Improved Corporate Transparency
