The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is used to protect the public from fraudulent accounting activities by businesses in order to bolster public trust. But that’s not all it does. It also gives businesses the chance to attain competitive advantage in the market.
GAINING AN ADVANTAGE IN THE MARKET
Achieving SOX compliance is a long, exhilarating, and delicate process. You must prove that you have an adequate control environment to ensure the accuracy of your financial reporting. But, as tough as it may seem, there are benefits in store.
The process will benefit your business by bringing in more revenue while giving you the upper hand in your dealings with the big guys. And all you have to do is achieve SOX compliance by creating and sustaining an effective control environment for your own business.
Many American businesses, both big and small, have a SOX-related mindset. They are in the race for SOX compliance, and mostly work with other businesses in the same race. So, you have a lot to gain from efficiently managing your own processes and corporate solutions.
In short, if your product or service is incompatible with another company’s SOX plan, it will not do business with you.
THAT’S WHERE A2Q2 COMES IN…
