Sarbanes-Oxley White Papers
Sarbanes-Oxley: Disclosure and Confidentiality
Overview Few people could identify them, the senior U.S. Democratic senator from Maryland and the Republican U.S. Congressman from Ohio. But Sen. Paul Sarbanes and Rep. Michael Oxley placed their names on a landmark piece of U.S. legislation that became law in July 2002. The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission subsequently adopted regulations that pertain to the Act, including a code of conduct for lawyers whose corporate clients fall under its jurisdiction. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act already has altered profoundly - like the effect of a 7.0 earthquake on the Richter scale - the landscape of corporate governance and investor protection in the U.S. and elsewhere.
