[AccessD] SOX

SOX only applies to publibly traded companies that are listed on US 
stock markets,
Market capitilization is a determining factor on time for compliance, 
small caps have more time.
You maybe a European company but if you are listed on the NASDAQ you 
still have to comply.
Generally it is corporate documentation of business processes for 
auditing purposes, so computers come into play
in fields like backup storage, data retention,  and database methodology.
