On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act became law -- and changed the lives of countless IT executives.
The legislation is aimed at making corporate fraud less likely. One of its more onerous provisions is Section 404, which requires companies to validate the effectiveness of internal controls put in place to protect financial reporting processes.
