I am currently working on my final thesis regarding optimization of excellence models with focus on implementation and usage of these. This is aimng to a further analysis of, whether these frameworks can aid in the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley (404 - management resbonsibility and Internal control), in a way that will potentially optimze and cost reduce the implementation process and the maintanence process.

I am seeking views in comparisons between different excellence models (ISO 9001, EFQM, MBNQA) and are hoping some suggestions regarding litterature.

Thank you :D

I did a search here in the Cove with the keywords "SOX ISO 9001" and came up with this (http://elsmar.com/Forums/search.php?searchid=628592). Hopefully, that will get you started.

Earlier this year, I participated in an American Society for Quality (ASQ) course titled "How to Use ISO 9001 to Reduce the Risk from Sarbanes-Oxley". The instructor was Sandford Liebesman. If you would like his contact information, please send me Private Message via the Cove.

Thank you,

Unfortunately the link doesn't work.

Regarding Liebesman, I have contac information, and I know about that seminar.

Again, thank you very much for your help :D

This is the table I am enclosing for cross reference. I have used this table to answer to a question for my M.Sc. (TQM).

Unfortunately the link doesn't work

Okay...just use the Search function (below the box that says "Welcome, Jens Kristiansen") and type SOX ISO 9001 in the search box.
