Reston, VA (PRWEB) January 26, 2005 -- Definitive Business Solutions, LLC announced today the release of their new Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance product, SMARTSOX. SMARTSOX promotes strong governance, communication, and accountability by providing an enterprise-level, web-based platform for managing all SOX–related activities. It is the first SOX compliance product that delivers periodic and prioritized communications that are Succinct, Manageable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-based.
Executives responsible for implementing Sarbanes-Oxley can now drive performance and compliance using an innovative, state-of-the-art system called SMARTSOX. SMARTSOX enables SOX Implementation Leaders to assign and prioritize tasks, which then provides the basis for the subsequent status reporting. SMARTSOX also enables executives to receive their communications in a prioritized manner, so that they can quickly process the most critical information first, and easily discern what actions may be required.
Driven by Section 404 of SOX, companies are spending significant capital on evaluating their internal controls, identifying control gaps, developing and testing remedies, and documenting test results. These activities are not just contained to a companys finance and accountings groups, but rather, are cross-functional and include representatives from across the enterprise. Under the best of conditions, achieving this objective is a formidable challenge. For large, fast-moving, or decentralized organizations, the objective is daunting. This reality necessitates an ongoing, enterprise-level communication system to stay abreast of all key SOX-related initiatives and issues that could have a bearing on financial transparency and accountability," says John Sammarco, Managing Director and the Product Manager of SMARTSOX.
John Sammarco goes on to add: SOX Implementation Leaders can leverage SMARTSOX to manage all of their SOX-related activities, whether they be checklist items, projects, strategic objectives, control gaps, risks, or action items. With all SOX-related activities and communications in a centralized system (where data is retained indefinitely), our quality search and report capabilities provide insight to users and transparency to auditors. To create an overwhelming value proposition and promote adoption, we have established a very aggressive introductory pricing structure. Moreover, the power of SMARTSOX is amplified by its simplicity and ease-of-use, hallmarks for all of our solutions."
