Sarbanes-Oxley White Papers

The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley on M&A Transactions

Overview The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act), Congress's sweeping reaction to a series of corporate scandals, is having a profound impact on the way U.S. corporations are governed and managed, and the corporate development function is not immune to its effects. The Act doesn't explicitly mention mergers and acquisitions, making it easy to overlook any impact. However, dealmakers who fail to consider the implications of the Act will be in for some unpleasant surprises.
