Robert, you may be referring to Sarbanes-Oxley which is a general law that has a major impact on IT. But basically all the law requires is that a company doing business in the US certify that its financial systems work and that access to the data in them is safeguarded. You must have written documented procedures for creating, storing, and distributing financial data. You must be able to show that you follow the documented procedures.
The exact details are still being worked out as lawyers argue over the finer points. Right now if your outside auditors say you are OK, then you are OK.
The state of California has also passed a law that applies to any company that has customers in California that requires safeguarding information that specifically identifies the customer and personal financial data including Social Security numbers, etc....
If you do business in the US you should be aware of these. The above is only my understanding of the issues and legal advice should be sought from qualified licensed attorneys if you have specific questions that need answering.
