Overview While the Sarbanes Oxley Act may not be the ideal response to recent corporate scandals, it is a predictable response given the impact that Enron and its successors have had on market value and shareholder confidence. Legislation is an expensive but a familiar solution. Leading cultural transformation is less familiar and perhaps more personally challenging. But creating a vibrant and ethical culture promises not only to increase transparency and accountability. There is also substantial evidence that ethical, values based cultures are critical for creating sustained stakeholder value.
