The employees must understand the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) passed to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in enterprises and the role of information technology. Under section 302, the companies need to implement systems that protect against data manipulation, provide the ability to track timelines, and can determine who had access to data and when. Under section 409, compliance mandates the timely disclosure of any information, and section 802 states the information technology team's role in SOX compliance to preserve records.

The course ITGC Part II is designed to ensure employees understand the importance of their role in a public company and comply with the regulatory requirements by implementing correct security controls to ensure that financial data is accurate and protected against loss.
