RockRaines Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) They still suck. I know it. I sell enterprise software, but my niche is analyzing sarbanes and financial auditor costs and headaches. And I sell solutions to close the books faster and now spreadsheet control for sarbanes compliance. Im always curious to the process and the problems people have.

Steff Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 We're in the middle of selling off a division so they are being extra careful to dot all the "i's" and cross all the "t's". It's a pain in the ass because I can't run closing reports until they say all is good to go. They've been here for 4 months.. haven't found 1 mistake.

I am a Producing director at a Theatre. Finalizing royalties, rental contracts, actors fees...it just overflows. Our FY ended on June 30th though, so it's not as extreme.

I'd have a field day offering you stories and opportunites, both from a large corporation setting to a "private" small company setting. Private is not technically applicable to sarbanes, unless they intend on going public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we are focused on the public companies and the extreme focus on spreadsheet control going forward with 404. It seems that everybody is using too much manual effort when one piece of software will satisfy all the requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a tremendous business opportunity for a niche to help consult companies going public how to upgrade their stuff to be S-O compliant. Wanna go into business? And no, not the green-weed business.

We could really use someone with that knowledge, it would be a lucrative business. As of right now we are still in the process of almost giving away the spreadsheet control product to get some references, but my company is a huge player in the market and its just going to grow.

kapkomet Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 There's tremendous opportunities for a LOT of this stuff. I've had some ideas, but no network to get them off the ground. That's my single biggest problem with anything, and most people's problem when starting a business. Meanwhile, software compliance for S-O is indeed important. Maybe we should seriously chat more offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh. My gold mine is coming then. Actually, I'm not sure how it can - but I'll explain that in a later post, if any of you care. It can RESEMBLE S-O. But it would be more civil law vs. a felony, say.
