Below are just a few of the recommended steps you should take to protect your organization:

• Ensure Audit Committee oversight of accounting and reporting
• Eliminate potential auditor conflicts
• Better accountability/accuracy of financial documentation
• Implement a comprehensive records retention policy
• Update your organization's Code and other written guidance
• Review accounting practices used by auditors
• Ensure auditors are not pressured or coerced
• Establish procedures for confidential, anonymous receipt of complaints

Compliance with these provisions may no longer be a choice. Sarbanes-Oxley alters the relationships you will have with auditing and consulting firms ... changes the way your organization will be governed ... redefines "financial disclosure" as we know it ... and can have a serious detrimental impact on business deals, financing, and the top-down legitimacy and integrity of your organization and its accounting practices.

Make sure you understand the liability your organization faces if it does not adhere to The Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Place your order for Sarbanes-Oxley: Best Practices for Private & Nonprofit Health Care Entities today.
