Overview: From the executive summary: ‘In the light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, companies must develop and publish a separate code just for senior financial officers, or publicly report why they have not. Congress is betting that most corporate directors and senior executives would rather not have to explain to shareholders or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) why they chose not to adopt an ethics code.
