Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Japanese SOX and Canadian SOX simple comparison


Confuse about a lot of Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) version? here is a simple comparison between Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Japanese SOX and Canadian SOX

Fundamental Difference Section 404 Not only cover financial reporting and disclosure; it also includes areas of the government such as corporate disclosure, auto insurance and tax. The Japanese version focuses more on IT Controls and less on IT Governance than the American version.
