SOx complacency threatens UK business warns Jefferson Wells

Jefferson Wells, a global provider of risk, control, compliance and financial process improvement today warned UK companies not to become over-complacent about Sarbanes-Oxley (SOx) compliance, after news that the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) would extend the deadline by up to five months was announced.

Jefferson Wells, a global provider of risk, control, compliance and financial process improvement today warned UK companies not to become over-complacent about Sarbanes-Oxley (SOx) compliance, after news that the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) would extend the deadline by up to five months was announced.

?UK companies who are in the midst of compliance will no doubt be relieved at the extended deadline, as the grip of corporate governance temporarily slackens.
