Often, when the term Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) comes up, individuals contemplate the testing processes that are required to be executed. As evidenced many things must occur prior to even beginning to contemplate what, when, and how to test.
Prior to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, public accounting firms were unregulated. Their activities were monitored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. With the passing of the Act, Congress established the Public Companies and Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The Board is tasked with the oversight of the public accounting firms for issuer companies and ensuring the SOX legislation is appropriately applied.
Understanding the origin of legislation and authoritative bodies along with their powers is important to comply with the Act. Both the PCAOB and the SEC are important organizations related to Sarbanes-Oxley and their history, powers of authority, and ability to assess sanctions and fines are something that organizations should be integrally familiar with.
This online CPE course will provide a detailed outline of the roles and responsibilities of those organizations as well as some background information. Understanding the origin of legislation and authoritative bodies is important to comply with the Act
