Execs describe Sarbanes-Oxley compliance lessons

Executives who oversaw the first round of compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act for their companies say they would have done

workers about steps they needed to take, assigning dedicated
staffers to assess and monitor critical controls, and automating
a greater portion of repairs to IT controls deemed deficient.
