What is SOX Compliance (Meaning of SOX)?
In 2002, the United States Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in enterprises, and to improve the accuracy of corporate disclosures. The act sets deadlines for compliance and publishes rules on requirements.
What is J-SOX?
The Financial Instruments and Exchange Act or J-SOX is the Japanese equivalent of SOX in Japan that the organizations in Japan need to comply with.
SOX compliance and J-SOX compliance are not just legal obligations but also good business practices. Companies are required to operate ethically with limited access to internal financial systems.
