Silly question for you, but i have to ask someone. I am looking over other IT policies, leeching information off of them, and i keep running in to the acro POA, any help on what this stands for?
Thanks for the help

I would guess, depending on what type of your policy you are looking at, it may mean any number of things, here’s is where I have seen it used:
Point of Access
Plan of Attack/Action
Power of Attorney
Period of Adjustment
Again, without the context of the policy you were looking at, I can’t be too specific.

Hi - If you’d like to share a few quotes where POA is used that might help …Zero has some good guesses as starting points.
This acroymn dictionary has literally dozens … Please copy link below to browser

Oh i figured it out, they define it later in the document. It means position of authority, within the context they used it.
Thanks again, and sorry for the silly question.

Hi JL – Below are also a few links on writing Policies, Procedures, and Standards … In fact, you might want to use the Forum Search facility and enter those keywords if you need further help in this process

Yes, we have a wonderful repository of resources here, that I’ve been personally learning from for the past couple of years (e.g., as my background is mostly in IT)
Please keep asking all those good questions as well, as there are many SOX experts here that you can gain good practical advice from
