IT Compliance and Controls: Best Practices for Implementation
by James J., IV DeLuccia
A considerable degree of attention has been placed on organizations to improve and disclose the state of Information Technology (IT) internal controls within the United States as a result of several regulations, most prominently, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404.
