Sarbox: Oxley ‘Would Have Done It Differently’
Former Ohio Rep. Mike Oxley retired from politics as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was making history as the first female to be sworn in as Speaker of the House. The veteran Republican is perhaps best known for his role in writing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Not long ago he admitted to an audience of accountants in Paris that he would take a different approach to Sarbox today, given the enormous burden the corporate reform act has turned out to be. Most recently, it is blamed in large part for the storage market jump that is bound to follow the digital data explosion predicted by IDC. Oxley told a group of accountants recently that he would do it differently if he had to write the law again, and the accountants are milking that comment for all it’s worth ________________________________________
