SOX法を遵守へのアドバイスですが、投稿した方はAquireというOrganization Chartを作成するソフトウェアを製造販売する会社のCEOということです。だからか、内部統制の文書化についての注意事項が並んでいます。

Stay on top of your chain of command data methodology

Don’t pay anybody after they leave the company

Make sure you can display adherence to effective segregation of duties

Be able to visually demonstrate who is responsible for managing contractors

Keep all data on your outsourced personnel that could impact segregation of duties or other SOX requirements

Be able to visually demonstrate effective controls over who has security access to which systems

Be able to visually demonstrate that all managerial controls regarding authority and security rights are appropriate

Automate systems to save money and trouble

Bottom line
SOX requirements continue to evolve. Trying to keep up manually is asking for trouble. It’s also much too expensive and time consuming. That’s why so many companies are relying on leading organizational charting solutions, and particularly unified workforce intelligence, to keep them out of trouble. But such solutions go beyond merely keeping organizations out of the SOX hot seat – they improve corporate governance and add real value, in terms of revenue, public trust and employee efficiency.
