The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also known as SOX), adopted on July 30, 2002, is one of the most significant changes in the US federal securities laws in the past 60 years. The act significantly tightens the requirements for financial reporting and the process of its preparation. Adoption of the law was a response to numerous corporate scandals involving unscrupulous managers of large corporations.
The Act created a new regime of control and regulation of financial activities for public companies as well as introduced pivotal changes in the field of management and disclosure requirements. The 11 sections of the act address the issues of auditors’ independence, corporate responsibility, full financial transparency, conflict of interest, corporate financial reporting, etc.
The law outlined the need for companies to establish more transparent, streamlined, and fair investor relations. In this regard, the role of a strong and effective IR has become more important than ever. Investor relations allow building and maintaining an effective dialogue among businesses, investors and, other key market players. IR helps to create a positive image of your company and move it forward.
