Can anybody help me fix this sentence?

Question

The sentence seems annoying by stating all the rules

===================================
Under the SOX section 301, the audit committees have responsibilities over the financial reporting such as employing independent auditors, overseeing the board, hiring auditors, rotating auditors, compensating auditors, handling complaints about accounting, establishing procedures for resolving accounting and auditing matters, and having internal control of the management.
=======================================

Please give some suggestions how do I make this sentence better.

Answer 1

This is how I would have done it. Under the SOX section 301, the audit committees have important responsibilities over the financial reporting. This includes employing independent auditors, overseeing the board, and handling complaints about accounting. Additionally, this involves hiring, rotating, and compensating auditors. Lastly are establishing procedures for resolving accounting and auditing matters, as well as having internal control of the management.

Answer 2

Under the SOX section 301, the audit committees are responsible for financial reporting. These duties include overseeing the board, the hiring, employing , rotating and compensating of auditors, handling complaints concerning accounting and establishing procedures to resolve accounting and auditing matters by means of managerial internal control.

Answer 3

Under the SOX section 301, the audit committees have responsibilities over financial reporting, such as employing independent auditors, overseeing the board, hiring, rotating, and compensating auditors, handling complaints about accounting, establishing procedures for resolving accounting and auditing matters, and having internal control of management.

-remove "the" in front of "financial reporting"
-add a comma after "reporting," in front of "such as"
-it's optional, but you can combine "hiring, rotating, and compensating" because you follow each with the word "auditors"
-also optional, but you can remove "the" in front of management.

The sentence is annoying, but whenever you're writing rules, you have to be very formal and technical. It's not going to sound like a beautiful piece of literature and that's okay. :) It's really fine the way it is - I just added a few suggestions to shorten its length a bit.

Answer 4

It can be improved by breaking it up into two sentences.

employing independent auditors, overseeing the board, hiring auditors, rotating auditors, compensating auditors, handling complaints about accounting, establishing procedures for resolving accounting and auditing matters, and having internal control of the management.
because there are too many commas and its too long

You can improve it by showing all the responsibilites in a list.
