Northrup does it again!
"Profitable Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance" is well written and easy to read. Northrup quickly demonstrates an extrordinary grasp of his topic. He carefully uses his knowledge of process-improvement methodologies to guide his readers to achieve SOX compliance economically and painlessly. He also shows how organizations can leverage the COSO framework for improved enterprise risk management and create a culture of continuous process improvement. I have already put some of his ideas to work and have realized measurable gains for several of my clients.
Between the lines
Lynn hits the bullseye in this very relevant book.The companies that have used Sarbanes as an opportunity to review operational efficiencies and best practices have turned Sarbanes from a pain to an opportunity.Lynn provides great practical advice on how to capitalize.

Common Sense SOX Compliance - A Must Read for Managers
In my business, I see fraud occurring daily, by all walks of life across all manner of businesses.No one seems immune, yet no one also knows when it will occur and by whom.But history proves it can be controlled and minimalized, not just with good goverance and control structures, but effective governance and control structures.The well-organized and easy to read Profitable Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance provides the most practical, comprehensive guidance and advice to-date for company management and boards on achieving true effective governance that touches on and challenges all key elements--board, management, IT, auditors, etc--to rise to the occasion in an integrated chorus to bring to life the SOX compliance process.Having examined fraud and business operations for the past 20 years proves to me that while SOX can be expensive and a headache to implement, getting it right and making it work--regardless of organizational size--will not only lower the cost of potential fraud significantly, a worthy goal, but will provide the added benefit of greatly improving the way the organization functions and governs itself, the ultimate goal to improved shareholder value. ...

A very good dictionary.
I found this dictionary very helpful in elucidating auditing terminology, and explaining the background to audit concepts.Complex ideas are often distilled into a few, clear paragraphs.Perhaps an additional diskette would have been useful to aid key word searches?
Valuable tool.
As an auditor, I found this dictionary to be a valuable tool: at last, in one volume, there is a comprehensive guide to auditing terminology.It is a relief to no longer have to plod through accounting dictionaries to find auditing terms.Guidance for further reading within the auditing literature is another plus.

not enough coverage of subject matter to be of merit
Coming on the heels of the author's previous book on the subject, this book was a disappointment for several fundamental reasons: it does not cover the matter in detail, and the examples provided are of no realfundamental value.It would appear that someone at McGraw-Hill (thepublisher) was realy asleep at the wheel to let this manuscripy go out theway it did.Read more
