(PRWEB) October 29, 2005 -- The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has changed they way organizations (both public and private) handle their accounts payable operations. Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow (www.ap-now.com), a newsletter for professionals interested in payment issues, recently polled a group of its readers to determine if and how the Act had changed the way various accounts payable functions were handled. “We were surprised to find that organizations of all types have been influenced by the Act,” says Mary Schaeffer, the publication’s editorial director. Interestingly, the impact is not limited to public companies.

The results of the poll along with some recommendations are available in a white paper, Internal Controls & Accounts Payable: The Effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on Both Private and Public Companies.
