I would like to see more case studies of how the SOX requirements were met with an eye on keeping expenses minimized. Examples of how compliance can be streamlined.

Could anyone point me to guidelines on (a) SOX-compliant metrics and standards for financial source data integrity and (b) methodologies for relating data integrity measurement to Six Sigma concepts (e.g., Yield, RTY, DPMO)?
Financial source data refers to critical data elements fed to the financials (e.g., data elements from a loan origination system at a bank).
