Re: Sarbanes & Oxley

Dear Doug,

Compliance dates are different depending on the category
your enterprise is in. The earliest compliance dates get 
traction in November of this year. More information about 
SOX is available here:
   http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/ITstandards/source/1.html 

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has published
an extensive 'official' interpretation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The standards are known as PCAOB, pronounced "peek-a-boo." 
Here is more information:
   http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/pcaob/source/1.html 

We've developed some clever and affordable software products
to address iSeries compliance for SOX, PCAOB, 21 CFR part 11, 
HIPAA, GLBA, and the rest of the compliance alphabet soup:

Does anyone know if there is a date when companies must be SOX compliant?

Also, what are the penalties, if any, for non-compliance?

Our auditors are driving us nuts.  I'd love to put them off until next
Spring, or just pay the fines like you can do with OSHA if they are not to
expensive.
