Integrated Process Engineering and Auditing Solution for Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley 404, AICPA SSAE & AT 101 Standards, the United Nations ISO 9001 Quality Management Standards, and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Standards was written to provide a comprehensive process design, engineering, and auditing solution that satisfies these and other prevailing national and international regulatory standards for system development and operations.

The IHD Methodology discussed in this book combines elements from COSO, AICPA SSAE 16 & AT 101, ISO 9001, and CMMI into a integrated methodology, which provides a single solution for compliance with these standards.
