What Can You Expect From This Certified Program
After a series of corporate scandals such as the Enron scandal, where the bankrupted company had overvalued its energy contracts and used several complex accounting manoeuvres to mislead investors, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was passed to re-establish investor trust in financial markets by addressing loopholes that had previously permitted public companies to mislead investors. The law has been successful in creating ethical business practices and good governance through internal controls, reports and disclosures. Many organizations are moving beyond literal compliance by developing internal reforms and adopting policies and practices to expose weaknesses and deficiencies.
