An organization must establish and maintain an effective internal control system in order to achieve the above objectives. But what is an effective internal control system? How to set up, evaluate and improve an enterprise’s internal control? This has become the problem most enterprises are faced with.
On July 30, 2007, the issuance of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) indicated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, being ruler of the world largest capital market, has regarded the establishment, maintenance, assessment and reporting of internal control structure and procedures as one of management’s top responsibilities

On May 22, 2008, five ministries including the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the “Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control”, it will be implemented within listed companies from July 1,2009, and unlisted medium-sized enterprises are also encouraged to implement it, this indicates the Chinese version of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has begun.
