TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've worked predominately on SOX for the past two and a half years and
you'll need a good dose of an accounting background (more than 1)
knowing the SOX laws or 2) doing the books for your corporation),
complete understanding of the COSO attributes as well as about 15-20
different values that the lead auditing company (Deloitte & Touche or
KPMG for example) finds important. Narratives are done in two different
formats, 1) a matrix or 2) a verbal narrative. After you complete a
narrative you go back and apply the law to each segment of the
narrative. Then there is usually a Visio flow done that mimics the
narrative flow. Gap analysis is also done on the narrative AND on the
flow. Each final auditor I've worked with defined the gaps differently.
IMO, SOX isn't something you can just read a book on and then jump into.
