RE: Sarbanes & Oxley

["Burns, Carolyn" <Carolyn.Burns@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your year end is prior to October 15th 2004 you do not have to be compliant 
until your 2005 year end.  I have consultants who specialize in this area in IT 
and have been working with it quite a bit.  Hope this helps.

You might want to start doing a little research.

When you have to be SOX compliant has to do with your fiscal year. If 
you are on a calendar year, you need to be done before Jan 1. You 
actually need to be done in time to complete your audits before Jan 1.

SOX only affects you if you are publicly traded, it will be enforced by 
the SEC. If you fail your auditor will have to publish a nasty letter to 
your share holders. If you are found to be in bad enough shape the SEC 
may also fine you, (nobody now how much) if you are in extremly bad 
shape the SEC could  stop your company from trading.

Have fun, You can find a lot of information at ISACA.ORG
