Overview:
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is the most significant audit and corporate governance reform in recent history. It has been described as the "most broad-sweeping legislation" since the Securities Act of the 1930's, and is alluded to as "Y2K without an end” or "Y2K on steroids".
Enacted by President Bush in 2002 in response to the corporate accounting scandals, such as Enron and WorldCom, the SOX Compliance Act is transforming how business is done in corporate America and around the world.
