A Crisis in Corporate America?

August 27 panel to look at America's corporate actions

August 22, 2002

 

In the wake of recent business misconduct and scandalous operations, investors’ faltering faith in corporate America has prompted widespread concern, with ripple effects in the stock market, the accounting profession, and beyond. One result has been the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which addresses corporate accountability issues. A leading proponent of the legislation is U.S. Congressman Michael G. Oxley (OH), a 1969 graduate of the Moritz College.
