Abstract:

The Sarbanes Oxley Act has proved a stern test for finance departments and there is clear evidence that companies are taking a more cautious approach to external reporting. Some would argue that more concern for the integrity of financial reporting is long overdue and should be a matter of normal practice. As a result, a new range of technical solutions is emerging which seek to combine controls reporting and financial reporting.

This article, the fifth in a five-part series, explores the benefits and enabling technologies for best practice compliance and control in financial reporting. The author, Gary Simon, Group Publisher of FSN and Managing Editor of FSN Newswire (www.fsn.co.uk), is a graduate of London University, a Chartered Accountant and a Fellow of the British Computer Society with more than 23 years experience of implementing management and financial reporting systems.
