Hi
Subbu,
SARBOX
or SOX is the abbreviated form for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This is a set
of COBIT (Control Objectives for Information Technology) guidelines that all
companies that are noted on a USA stock exchange should pass in order to get a
favourable (unqualified) audit report at the end of the financial
year.
Search
google for sarbanes-oxley. There are 6 million odd pages to get you
started.
Regards,
Hennie

We just went through a massive worldwide SARBOX audit and in myself and
our auditors' opinion, Axapta is not SOX compliant. We did pass the
audit however because of the implementation of a number of mitigating
controls.
Some of the issues were:
1. Source version control and project locking in Axapta is
insufficient.
2. Development tools need to be enabled in live environment to be able
to import XPO's from test environment. This was a major problem.
3. The fact that projects (XPO's) need to be recompiled in the live
environment after importing (you may not recompile code in live)
4. Axapta does'nt automatically force a password change after first
logon when the Administrator resets your password.
5. Passwords can be cleared through the database.
6. Data model changes are made by developers through the AOS and not
the DBA.
These were only some of the issues/shortcomings that came up. Cannot
think of everything right now.
Ironic thing is that in 1995 the USA proclaimed the "Paper Reduction
Act" and now with SARBOX additional, filed paperwork with signoffs for
just about everything is encouraged.
