In response to the collapse of Enron, Worldcom, and other corporations, the U.S. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (often shortened to SOX), which aims at making U.S. corporations more accountable to the public.
After congressional hearings into allegations of corporate fraud in the early 1930s, Congress first passed the Securities Act of 1933. However, that law was viewed as inadequate, and just one year later Congress returned to pass the far more sweeping Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, even if Sarbanes-Oxley ultimately proves to be only the first act, it does include a number of provisions requiring changes in how business is done. This is particularly true with regard to auditors and the role of the audit committee.
