Manager’s Guide to Compliance: Sarbanes-Oxley, COSO, ERM, COBIT, IFRS, BASEL II, OMB’s A-123, ASX 10, OECD Principles, Turnbull Guidance, Best Practices, and Case Studies (Manager’s Guide Series)
Compliance requirements are here to stay.
Prepare your company for the growing challenge.
A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight. In the shadow of recent global scandals involving businesses such as Parmalat and WorldCom, Manager’s Guide to Compliance: Best Practices and Case Studies is essential reading for you, whether your organization is a major corporation or a small business.
This timely handbook places U.S. and global regulatory information, as well as critical compliance guidance, in an easy-to-access format and helps you make sense of all the complex issues connected with fraud and compliance.
“Wide perspectives and best practices combined deliver a punch that will knock your ‘SOX’ off! The author has blended together a critical mix necessary for effectively handling the requirements of SOX.”
—Rob Nance, Publisher, AccountingWEB, Inc.
“Robust compliance and corporate governance is an absolute necessity in today’s business environment. This new book by Anthony Tarantino is an authoritative guide to understanding and implementing compliance and regulatory requirements in the United States and around the world. From SOX to COSO to ERM, this book covers them all.”
—Martin T. Biegelman, Certified Fraud Examiner, Fellow and Regent Emeritus of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and coauthor of Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance
“If compliance wasn’t difficult enough, now companies are faced with a barrage of technology vendors claiming to automate compliance as if it were a project. In his new book, Dr. Tarantino paints the reality of the situation: companies need to embrace the broader tenets of governance and use technology to embed governance policies and controls into their daily business processes. Only then can they gain business value from their compliance investments.”
—Chris Capdevila, CEO and cofounder, LogicalApps

Outstanding,
Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.

|Reference only,
Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.

|Kindle edition has some problems,
This review is actually about the Kindle version of this book. I’m disappointed that the table of contents only has chapter headings. There is no table of figures or breakdown of chapters. In addition, many of the diagrams are too tiny to read and can’t be magnified. I paid for the book, not 97% of the book, with the rest being sized for fairies to read, not humans. 🙂
I’m using this book as a text in a graduate class. The professor and some other students have the paper version of the book and make reference to it by page numbers, which we Kindle users don’t have. This is a problem. I would think that page numbers of some sort would be useful to all Kindle users, too. Granted that different editions of a book have different page numbers, but giving the page numbers for one edition would help us get close to particular text based on a page number. If my friend is reading a paper edition, we would find it hard to discuss something in a book with long chapters unless I have some sort of page numbers in my Kindle edition.
Thanks!
