Internal Control and compliance is a major issue in every business especially within the banking industry. This became even more important after the Enron issue and the financial meltdown in 2008. Prior to this, US listed companies have enacted the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Control Act with prescriptive control, compliance and reporting obligations.
