RE: Sarbanes - Oxley ----- MAPICS related -- MAPICS-L

John,

The documents on the web site are very weak.

IT managers are panicking (not just MAPICS IT managers) because some of the
consulting firms are defining the act as requiring automated data
change/access reporting.

Someone at MAPICS should be addressing the data access issues.

Also, for your information, the Teleconference on SOX compliance was
worthless for anyone who already uses security, and relies on too much
custom code work to get the job done.  If the software is advertised to be
the solution for SOX 404, then it should meet all of the requirements.

Greg,

Are you looking for information about SOX compliance from a financial
systems (i.e. the underlying technology)point of view or are you interested
in compliance with the actual SOX financial reporting requirements?  Some
general information is available on the MAPICS website
(http://www.mapics.com/soa/soalinks.asp).  I suggest you start there. If
you're looking for information on solving a specific problem, please let me
know and I'll see what I can do about finding the answer for you.

Thank you!   I got my copy.   It is very good but it concentrates mostly on
security.   It would be great to have something similar for financials.
Hey MAPICS!  More please!

Greg

OK guys, this is how I got the PP Presentation for SOX:

1) Login into the MAPICS Support page: 
http://support.mapics.com/asp/index.asp

2) Under the KNOWLEDGE CENTER, select the "NO WAIT RESPONSE SEARCH FAQ's 
TIPS, PTFs"

3) Leave the default value for TYPE OF SEARCH to be "QUICK SEARCH".

4) On the QUICK SEARCH screen, enter the following text in the "MY PROBLEM 
IS:" box:
"TECHTALK TechPoint presentations" and click on GO.

5) On the list of solutions, click on the "TECHTALK TechPoint 
presentations" 

6) On the list of solutions from the "TECHTALK TechPoint presentations", 
select the first line that should say: 
Link to "Using MAPICS to assist with Sarbanes Oxley" Presentation from

Hope this can help you guys!
