The law is intended to increase the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures in financial statements while protecting investors from fraudulent accounting practices. It also increases the responsibility of corporate governance. The bill was introduced following the Enron Corporation, WorldCom, and Tyco International fraud and accounting scandals in the early 2000s
