HelpSTAR: Out-of-the-Box Compliance
The integrity of financial reporting depends on a well-controlled IT environment
HelpSTAR provides a complete out-of-the-box, economical solution that facilitates the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls that will enhance the reliability of disclosure and financial reporting as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley.
The purpose of the act, according to William Donaldson, chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission, is to “restore investor confidence and improve the integrity of corporate America”. He goes on to say:

"...Simply complying with the rules is not enough. They should, as I have said before, make this approach part of their companies’ DNA. For companies that take this approach, most of the major concerns about compliance disappear.
Moreover, if companies view the new laws as opportunities—opportunities to improve internal controls, improve the performance of the board, and improve their public reporting—they will ultimately be better run, more
transparent, and therefore more attractive to investors."
