The recent Sarbanes-Oxley act applies to ALL publically traded 
companies.  It's roughly speaking a law intended to make sure future 
Enrons don't happen--or at least that documents suitable for prosecution

my quick scan of things is correct.   And audits can eventually cover a 
lot of ground.

This will mean huge amounts of storage.  I bet the storage vendors are 
quite happy...
