Follow on Google News | Is your business affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act?Although mainly affecting businesses in the U.S, many organisations here in the U.K are affected by the Sarbanes Oxley Act and its implication on the management of email and other forms of business communications.
By: Martin Harrison The affects of this legislation are wide reaching and affect many businesses here in the U.K. Under Section 404 of the Act, any business with a listing on the NASDAQ or New York Stock must include a statement with all financial reports to confirm that the company has measures to ensure that records of all transactions are accurate. As a result of this, businesses should monitor frequently all of their email communications in order to prevent any potential mis-dealings and malpractice. One of the most effective ways of doing this is by using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with its built in security and archiving features, exchange can help businesses to ensure that they are fully in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other relevant Government and industry sector guidelines. Genesis Communications are one of the leading providers of Exchange hosting, a spokesperson had this to say: “The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is just one of a number of legislations which businesses should be aware of. It is likely that, over time, the pressure on businesses to be accountable for their email communication will increase. For this reason, it is sensible to think about exchange hosting as a long-term solution.” # # # Genesis Communications Ltd is an independent provider of business mobile and data solutions, with over 10 years experience in the SME market.
