Wait, why would it be in a disaster recovery plan? That sounds odd.

Incorporating the code into the disaster recovery plan sounds odd to me. I don’t see how that would directly improve the implementation.

I remember a practice question about implementing policies, and training was a key part of that. It really helps with compliance and understanding.

I’m not sure if having the code certified under Sarbanes-Oxley is necessary for a treasury code of conduct. It seems a bit overboard, but maybe it adds credibility?

I'm a little confused by the options. Incorporating the code into the disaster recovery plan doesn't seem directly relevant to improving the initial implementation. I'll have to re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.

I feel pretty good about this one. Having the code certified under Sarbanes-Oxley requirements would ensure it meets the necessary legal and compliance standards. That seems like the most comprehensive approach.

Haha, having the marketing department review the code? They'd probably just add a bunch of flashy graphics and call it a day.
