From Compliance to Competitive Advantage
Across industries, the risk of noncompliance is driving investment, protocol, and product now more than ever before. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) has proved that compliance is not a one-time event as smart companies are building it into the culture of their organizations. SOX, however, is just one of many initiatives that corporations must prioritize. In this discussion, we will talk about the process of compliance, SOX, and how companies are achieving competitive advantage through compliance.
