摘要

In an era when Corporate America is plagued by corruption and scandal, strict regulatory legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act might seem like an obvious remedy. When Sarbanes-Oxley was passed on July 30, 2002, stories of shady accounting practices and poor ethical standards dominated the news media. The passage of the bill itself almost was lost among headlines filled with Enron, WorldCom, and a host of corporate wrongdoers from the elite legion of leading global companies. Now, however, it has become obvious that the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations are punishing not only those executives and accountants who were corrupt, but thousands more who were not―and never will be. Therefore, while regulation and legislation may appear to be the necessary medicines for what ails the financial world, we should be wary of how much we swallow, and remain vigilant of potential side effects that might have a greater negative impact than the actual symptoms themselves.
