We have used SOX compliance issues to tell some of our more annoying coworkers that we need to be in control of the vendor selection process. So while everyone’s running around with SOX paranoia as their default mode, it’s been a useful bludgeon to get our way. If you’re the first person to say “I need things my way for SOX compliance” you tend to get your way, because NO ONE knows what actual SOX requirements are, so if you pretend you do, others tend to assume you do.
Wow, that’s the best news I’ve seen this year.
