Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has created a number of concerns and is considered burdensome and expensive to corporations. Large corporations report spending more than $4 million each year to comply with the act. The Act has caused more than 500 public companies a year to report problems in their accounting systems. Additionally, the Act failed to prevent and detect the widespread misconduct of financial institutions that led to the financial crisis. On the other hand, the act has many benefits, including greater accountability of top managers and boards of directors, that improve investor confidence and protect employees, especially their retirement plans.
