Discussion Post: COMPLIANCE AND THE SARBANES-OXLEY (SOX) ACT
In the context of the world of business, explain what we mean by the term compliance. Relating to this, is anyone familiar with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) legislation enacted by Congress in 2002? What was contained in this legislation, and what prompted it? Can you provide a specific example of one of the major points of this legislation? Why was it enacted? Separately, does the term compliance apply to any other areas of business besides the SOX legislation?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
