Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Steven J. Corso, President and Chief Operating
Officer of Edcor, a Detroit area based provider of Corporate
Education and Compliance Solutions, expects the impending
corporate reform and regulation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
to "radically change the landscape of corporate responsibility."
Corso believes Section 301 of the Act, the "Whistle Blower"
component which requires publicly held companies to establish
procedures to receive and address anonymous employee complaints
regarding accounting and auditing matters, will result in
a potential nightmare of costly administrative monitoring,
investigating and follow-up. To maintain credibility and enhance
independence, Congress has recommended that companies outsource
this process.
Corso believes this can be an opportunity for
appropriately equipped Fortune 1000 company suppliers, like
Edcor, to upgrade client relationships and create new areas
of growth by becoming a resource to provide corporate "Whistle
Blower" Hotlines. Edcor is one of the first contact center
service companies to put in place systems and procedures specifically
designed to address the compliance rules of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Edcor has developed hotline services, which have live operators
24 hours a day seven days a week. Prepared with company-customized
scripts and a thorough knowledge of the Act's requirements,
Edcor operators receive calls from corporate offices worldwide.
