Does this mean that all those “Does SOX require this?” blog posts are finally answered (even under the caveat that the book does not offer legal advice the same way consulting with a lawyer would offer legal advice)?

What? You couldn’t get your weblog mentioned?
Is your book readable for us mere mortals who think SOX is something brought down to earth by the gods?

Sean: If my book isn’t readable by a smart layperson, I’m in BIG trouble, because that’s the market.

Hmmm. I don’t get your flier.
“In the near future, small, publicly-held businesses-formerly exempt-must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.”
OK, I assume you are talking about 404. After all, the rest of SOX already applies.
“Under SOX, they will now be exposed to audits and reviews and will have to make their profits, losses, and compensation packages public.”
Huh? 404 only applies to audits of internal controls over financial reporting. The rest of the ‘34 Act requirements - to make filings on Form 10-K or 10-KSB, setting forth financials and executive comp - is unaffected.
PB replies: Sigh. Yes. I know. PR people.
