Length, Type: 4-page PDF file, plus Excel spreadsheet with data Rise and Fall of Late Filings, Courtesy of SOX Corporate America’s on-time performance in filing financial statements has been somewhat lacking in recent years. According to exclusive Compliance Week research, notice of late filings spiked 19 percent from 2004 to 2006, primarily due to the soaring number of restatements this decade. But as large companies grow accustomed to Sarbanes-Oxley and make fewer restatements (a trend already underway), experts now expect late filings to fall as well. At the same time, more companies making late filings are also disclosing the reasons why. Full details, including a spreadsheet tracking the reasons for late filings, are inside.

Length, Type: 15-page PDF file, plus Excel spreadsheet with data Rick Steinberg's Five-Part Series on ERM Lots of people talk about enterprise risk management, but few truly understand how to build an ERM system that really works. Compliance Week columnist Richard Steinberg—principal author of the COSO ERM framework—has written an exclusive, multi-part series examining ERM in detail. He starts with the basics, defining ERM (“a company’s process to identify, assess, and manage risk that could interfere with achieving any of its corporate objectives”) and provides examples of ERM in practice at three very different companies. The remaining columns deal with why a company would want an effective ERM process, including the benefits it brings; some of the more effective techniques for applying ERM; where the responsibilities for ERM are best housed; and what methodologies are most effective for implementing an ERM system, including pitfalls to watch out for.
