If the point of the exercise is SarbOx then you do not want any privilege not required to peform your responsibilities. Anything more puts you personally, and your company, in jeopardy.

That something is difficult for you is not the issue. Compliance with the law is the only issue. And if you are unaware of FACTA then I strongly suggest you go to google.com and find out about it too.
