Overview: In a monumental bill-signing ceremony that will have a profound effect on the CPA profession, the financial markets, and corporations worldwide, President Bush – flanked by U.S. Congressman Mike Oxley (R-OH) and Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-MD) – signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 into law. It was the “shot heard ‘round the world” for the CPA profession – left to pick up the pieces and work hard to regain the public trust. What led up to this unprecedented occasion are a series of events that forever changed the American business landscape and is currently positioning the U.S. government as the gatekeeper of the CPA profession and publicly traded companies. This document examines the impact of the Act on the CPA profession in particular.
