The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (often shortened to SOX) is legislation passed by the U.S. Congress to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practice on the enterprise, as well as improve the accuracy of corporate disclosures.  If you know you need to be SOX compliant and you are looking for a new SOX provider, or looking to change SOX firms…what should you look for in your new SOX firm?  To paraphrase the Real Estate mantra “Location, Location, Location”, when you are deciding on a new SOX provider you should be looking for “Experience, Experience, Experience.”
