Overview: The recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 amended the reporting obligations under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are applicable to officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners of equity securities of U.S. companies with a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act substantially shortens, effective August 29, 2002, the period in which certain Section 16(a) reports must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As discussed in this article, these significant revisions to existing law will require the immediate attention of both persons covered by the Section 16(a) reporting requirements, as well as the securities compliance officer and other support personnel of U.S. public companies.
