Re: Sarbanes-Oxley
Badly OT but yes, Enron (apparently) violated then-existing laws. How passing additional laws will help is beyond many experts. Some people will always violate the law. Passing additional laws won't stop them.

Re: Sarbanes-Oxley
Charles, How about passing laws which allow scrutiny of an enterprise's operation much more easily that is currently allowed? That could so increase the deterrent effect that less law-breaking resulted. So by passing such laws some of them will be stopped. Historically over the twentieth century, isn't this what has happened?

Re: Sarbanes-Oxley
In a recent public radio news discussion about the ongoing Enron criminal trials, the question was posed: if Enron were in business today, how would the company measure up against the SOX standard? This whole agony and ecstasy was conjured up, after all, to prevent another Enron catastrophe. The answer was that, although hypothetical and conjectural, Enron would likely rank in the TOP HALF of all U.S. companies. So much for due diligence. . .

Rushed through in 2002, following a wave of corporate scandals, the controversial Sarbanes-Oxley legislation lays down tough accounting rules designed to ensure that public companies make fuller disclosure of their financial position. It prompted an angry reaction from this side of the Atlantic because European companies that are listed in the US are affected even if they comply with their own domestic requirements. -- Phil Payne -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
