Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002. (PCAOB)
The Sarbanes Oxley Act covers issues such as establishing a
public company accounting oversight board, auditor independence,
corporate responsibility and enhanced financial disclosure.

designed to review the dated legislative audit requirements, and is
considered one of the most significant changes to United States
securities laws since the New Deal in the 1930s. The Act gives
additional powers and responsibilities to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. |
