Efficiciency yet simplicity

This book is a very well written and structured piece that effectively educates the reader even though they might not be a business major. In other words, the reader extends through the thresholds of accounting experts and finance gurus, it conveys SOX in laymen terms for everyday people.

Insightful !

This dry-as-bones handbook gives essential overview information about the numerous, varied requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). Reading it is much easier than reading the Act itself, mainly because the book is much shorter. Author Guy P. Lander probably comes as close as possible for a practicing securities law attorney to writing in plain English. That does not mean that this book will appeal to the general reader. We believe it will see its best service as a handy reference on the bookshelves of executives responsible for discussing their firms' SOA compliance efforts with their attorneys, auditors and peers.
