Call me old fashioned...



...but if you are a multi-million dollar corporation (and therefore subject to Sarbanes-Oxley) you might want to hire an expert, not a dummy.

From the product description on Amazon:

Whether you’re a CEO or a file clerk, it’s important to understand Sarbanes-Oxley, the post-Enron legislation aimed at keeping corporations honest and ethical. However, with over eighty pages of dense, wordy language in the statute and thousands of pages of related congressional hearings, getting a firm grip of SOX can fluster even the most well-informed businessperson.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that file clerks need a good understanding of is how to alphabetize. And who hires file clerks these days?


Some time I really do fear for this country.
