Abstract: "To small business owners, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) might seem an overwhelming regulatory burden that should be reserved for Fortune 500 companies. However, in spite of the countless problems you deal with as a small business owner on a daily business, you need to understand how SOX legislation can affect - and benefit - your company. Sarbanes-Oxley for Small Businesses shows how you can tame this giant legislation's requirements and best practices to your business's advantage - and save money, lower your overhead costs, and improve sales."--BOOK JACKET.
