From the Publisher

"Michael Holt has created an incredibly useful toolkit for understanding the basics of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It's especially attuned to the needs of non-financial experts who must grasp the fundamentals and key issues. A must-read for decision-makers." --- Rick Telberg, principal, Bay Street Group LLC, analysts and advisors to the accounting industry.
