Sarbanes-Oxley: A New Operational Paradigm or Tweaking of Existing Processes?

Overview The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), or the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act, enacted in July 2002, is the most important U.S. legislation to affect corporate governance, financial disclosure and public accounting since the 1930s. It addresses corporate fraud, helping to bolster the public's confidence in the economy and in investing. SOX does this by monitoring the monitors - auditors and company executives, as well as statements of assets and revenues.
