Re: Sarbanes-Oxley
How about learning about the legislation and its requirements.
I think if you can demonstrate knowledge of the legislation and how it impacts
businesses and their operations, you can claim experience. SOX is a series of
reccomended practices that must be suited to each organization. If you
understand SEC filings, security issues, and the other components that comprise
the general operations of a public company - then you'll be in a position to do
SOX docs.
I agree with much of what you say, except perhaps the most essential. SOX is not recommended, it is legislatively mandated and failure to comply carries criminal penalties. While the writer must be familiar with the legislation and how it impacts each individual business, any documentation must be cleared with the legal department, unless the writer also has legal training.
