You cannot download the company financial information in a manner that it can be manipulated outside of a software package like JDE Edwards. This means excel spreadsheets and the like.

This does not include non-corporate-financial information. You can down load customer information to customer service, loan data to secondary marketing (banking) and the like. I'm not sure if collections information is restricted, but I've never heard that it is.

The downside is, that we as IT professionals can now be held financially responsible for the companies financials just like the executives and directors of the company.

I worked extensively with Harley Davidson on the SOX compliance.

The truth is though, i have yet to hear of a single company getting in trouble due to not being compliant.

I hope I've clarified my comments.

I doubt it. I suppose sending ASN's to your customers could be considered
a download. Any ETL package would be considered a download. Heck, a
printout could be considered a download.
I really think it's more intended that the data be controlled.

I can download my transactions from my bank to my PC. I take it that
makes my bank out of compliance with SOX?

Sox also includes limiting access to financial data. This means
eliminating all download of financial data from the iseries.

It can mean legal responsibility for company finances.

Sox does not apply to wholely own companies. Only corporations.

Joel,

SOX is all about getting executives to be responsible for the numbers
that
they are reporting. If you read the entire SOX act of 2002, you will
not
find the word "computer" anywhere in the document. However, reading
between the line, there are three sections of the SOX Act that apply,
specifically sections 302, 404 and 409. Find a copy of the act and
focus
on these three.

Here's a link to the details: [1]

Does anyone have a summary of how SOX compliance should or could affect
a typical Iseries shop?

From an IT auditing standpoint?

For example, outside auditors recommend all sorts of steps and often
reference SOX compliance. How detailed does SOX get regarding this such
as:


- IT issues in general

- Separation of PROD and TEST environments (or even hardware)

- User ids; using IBM user-ids, control of job schedulers, etc

I thought SOX was more of a financial and top management responsibility
and accountability act. How far down the IT control structure of a
typical company does SOX reach?

Thanks!
