Information technology changes and process in organizations are not always voluntary and stimulated by strategic goals. Instead, they may be imposed on organizations certifying agencies and by regulatory bodies. This teaching case focuses on one firm's multi-year journey of making procedure and data technology changes so as to comply with a fresh group of regulations known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).
While SOX compliance work targets designing, executing, and testing internal controls, these controls are just actions made to ensure that processes implicated in the generation of financial advice are completed accurately and that the monetary representations they create are not false. Therefore, despite its emphasis on internal controls, accounting and auditing, this teaching case provides students with insights into compliance-related process improvement and system integration in general.
