Sarbanes-Oxley - Are You Sarbanes-Oxley Compliant?

Sarbanes-Oxley

  • What is Sarbanes-Oxley?
  • How does Sarbanes-Oxley affect my company?
  • What happens if my company fails to become Sarbanes-Oxley compliant?
  • Where can get help?

As a publicly traded company your stock value depends on you staying “fully reporting” (and off the Pink Sheets). You simply have no choice. You need to address this issue NOW , if you haven't done so already. If you simply sign-off that you are compliant and you are not, it is now a criminal offense with prison time of up to 20 years for CEOs, CFOs and 10 years for CPAs. The standards imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley and new SEC requirement are substantial and can not be implemented overnight. Many small corporations may be required to add new employees or make additions of outside directors to their Boards in order to fall under guidelines. We Can Help.
