The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has become the preeminent topic in the press lately. Chief Financial Officers are grappling with "disclosure controls."

Corporate Boards are struggling to revise their composition and the charter and focus of their audit committees. Layered on top of this is often conflicting advice from a myriad of different sources: academics, business process engineering firms, legal professionals and auditing firms.
