Use of 'with' or 'of'?

Hi,

what is the most correct wording (or least faulty) with respect to "progress with" or "progress of"?

"Implementation of best practise was essential to the role as well as reviewing the progress with meeting Sarbanes Oxley standards."

or

"Implementation of best practise was essential to the role as well as reviewing the progress of meeting Sarbanes Oxley standards."

Thanks in advance,
Peter

, "in" ,"on", "with", "of" (in some cases also "towards") Examples: He's making good progress in maths She's making steady progress with her thesis We are watching the progress of the negotiations with interest I’m making slow progress on my article However, the second example seems more apropriate as it pertains more to the course or evolution. We tend to use "of" with talks, negotiations, dispute, career or disease.
