A statute enacted on July 30, 2002 in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals, including those affecting Enron, Tyco International, Adelphia, Peregrine Systems and WorldCom, which cost investors billions of dollars when the share prices of the affected companies collapsed and shook public confidence in the nation's securities markets. Sarbanes-Oxley made a number of significant changes to federal regulation of public company corporate governance and reporting obligations. The Act establishes new or enhanced standards for all US public company boards, management, and public accounting firms, but does not apply to privately held companies.
