Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is a US law passed in in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals which resulted in a loss of public trust in accounting standards. Passed in 2002 by Congress, the legislation establishes new and enhanced standards for all US public companies, their Boards, Management, and public accounting firms.

SOX contains 11 titles impacting Corporate Board responsibilities and includes possible criminal penalties. The Securities and Exchange Commission is responsible to implement rulings on requirements to comply with SOX. The AICPA has an excellent summary of the legislation available here.
