Become Sarbanes-Oxley Compliant with Optura

Join us at the Sarbanes Oxley Compliance Conference for SAP™ Customers-November 3-5, 2003 in Washington D.C.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is one of the most important pieces of business regulation to be passed in the last decade. Optura has positioned its RapidFlow Financial Solutions to assist businesses utilizing SAP in becoming Sarbanes-Oxley compliant and bringing their internal process controls up to a higher level of efficiency and accountability.

Sarbanes-Oxley came about due to financial and executive-level scandals from a few prominent companies in the U.S. The Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Act of 2002 is asking businesses to take care of their internal financial controls to a greater degree than ever before. The compliance conference in Washington D.C. centered around this legislation will highlight the ways a business can get itself ready to pass this strict standard of voluntary controls.

Optura will assist a business in obtaining the certification of compliance by addressing internal controls and processes with their RapidFlow Product Line. Certain sections of this act are very clear in asking management and executives to take more responsibility in the tracking and reporting of financial processes. With RapidFlow, financial information is routed to the right people at the right time with a minimum of paperwork and material masters are created right the first time which ensures accuracy of financial statements.

Optura products also contribute to the process-driven nature of SOX compliance by providing reporting that facilitates continuous process improvement. Efficiency gains as a result of improved internal processes also result in quantifiable ROI and other soft benefits to help grow and sustain a successful business.
