The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Didn't Invent Penalties For Destruction of Evidence,
But It
Did Perfect Them
By Randolph Kahn, ESQ
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed in the wake of seemingly endless
financial scandals involving a number of public companies. The law is a new
tool for the SEC to regulate publicly traded companies and protect the
investing public from the actions of unscrupulous executives and accountants.
Many careers, companies, and billions of dollars later, it is heartening that
many in the information management community are asking about the impact of
the Sarbanes-Oxley. So what does the law mean, what are the implications for
your company, and what can be done to insulate your company from becoming the
next headline? However, before we answer those questions, let's briefly look
at the law itself.
