SOX became the trendy IT excuse for anything.

As an example from a few years ago, when I hired a contract developer, the company required a "Contractor Request Form". Fine. There's payroll to setup and so on. But then one day the form was renamed to be the "Contractor SOX Compliance Request Form".

I suspect this exercise was only so that some bean counter could show the outrageous costs of "SOX compliance".
