Corporate Governance: Sarbanes/Oxley Act
|
|
President Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act into law on July 30, 2002. The Act imposes wide-ranging corporate governance and accounting reform. The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market have similarly adopted significant reforms applicable to listed companies. These developments have broad implications for lawyers and their clients, including the standards of professional conduct for lawyers. Below you will find relevant links and documents.
