ATLANTA, GA February 27, 2004 -– Until now, company executives thought that they had only two options for creating the volumes of policies and procedures needed for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance: do the work internally using their already-overworked staff, or outsource the work to accounting consultants at $200+ per hour.

"Technical writers can do that work for 70% less than accounting consultants," said Doug Davis, President and CEO of Cumming, GA-based ProEdit. "We have a services organization specifically designed to respond to requests for policies and procedures documentation needed for SarBox compliance. Our Sarbanes-Oxley teams help companies identify gaps and deficiencies in their current policies and procedures, and quickly develop the documentation that is needed."

ProEdit has a flexible approach that works around a company's needs and budget. "Some companies want to do most of the work internally, while others want to outsource the entire effort. We help companies get their policies and procedures written in the most cost-effective way, while leveraging their internal capabilities," Davis said.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is an important piece of legislation affecting corporate governance, financial disclosure, and public accounting practices. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates that public companies must document policies and procedures for their internal controls. This has sent companies scrambling to standardize and update their procedures for Sarbanes-Oxley documentation compliance. As a result, many companies are discovering that their procedures are incomplete, outdated, or inadequate.
