Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Efficiciency yet simplicity
This book is a very well written and structured piece that effectively educates the reader even though they might not be a business major. In other words, the reader extends through the thresholds of accounting experts and finance gurus, it conveys SOX in laymen terms for everyday people.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Basic Info
Book gave basic info on SOX. Not most interesting subject or book.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Finance Manager
This book provided a brief overview and was short on application which I required. Perhaps the books intent did not comply with my needs. However,"Manager's Guide to Sarbanes Oxley Act" proved valuable and aided in presentation to our managers group for the need for internal controls.
