What is the single most challenging Sarbanes-Oxley issue today?

Managing Accountability

From the initial efforts of dealing with Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOA) compliance, it is obvious that a small internal audit team alone cannot manage the gamut of requirements imposed by the act. Companies have to increase the control awareness among the operational management and empower them for the ongoing governance activity.

While such an empowerment is a good management doctrine, the real challenge lies in 'managing accountability.' How do companies measure the effectiveness of controls on a standard yardstick, identify deficiencies and make people accountable on an ongoing basis?

Companies, which address the above challenge, would succeed in converting governance into an integral part of corporate DNA.
