Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sarbanes Oxley Act was passed in response to concerns that investors received full and complete information about potential corporate fraud and a lack of investor confidence, both of which are covered by choices I and II. The act was mainly prompted by a series of corporate scandals, especially Enron, as mentioned in option III. However, the provision related to discrimination against an employee who shares information about a violation of federal security laws is mentioned in the Dodd-Frank Act, not in the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
