SPEAKER: Stephen M. Bainbridge Professor of Law ,
University of California, Los Angeles
AUTHOR OF: THE
COMPLETE GUIDE TO SARBANES-OXLEY:UNDERSTANDING HOW SARBANES-OXLEY AFFECTS YOUR
BUSINESS (Adams
Media Corporation, 2007)
Enron, WorldCom, and the rest: in response to these and other major corporate and accounting scandals, Congress
passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Many scholars consider the Act to be the most significant change
in corporate governance and securities regulations in the past seventy years. Sarbanes-Oxley requirements have
brought about far-reaching changes for public corporations, private corporations, and nonprofits, and the Act’s
critics point to its onerous compliance requirements as a major competitive disadvantage for U.S. capital markets.
In
The Complete Guide to Sarbanes-Oxley , Stephen Bainbridge,
one of the nation’s top corporate law scholars and a contributor
to the Manhattan Institute’s PointofLaw.com
web magazine, examines how the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations affect
the business landscape. In non-technical language, Professor Bainbridge’s
new book explores the law’s functions and the legal, accounting,
and information technology requirements managers and directors
will need to cope with the Act. We hope you will join us as Professor
Bainbridge discusses Sarbanes-Oxley and his important new book.
