Three companies working to meet a rapidly approaching Sarbanes-Oxley deadline show the breadth of systems the act affects and the lengths to which IT managers must go to maintain compliance over time.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, officially known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002, has corporations subjecting themselves to a gut-wrenching examination of the way they track and report their financial statements.
