The director of your accounting department has requested that you conduct research on the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Discuss what effects SOX has had on improving corporate governance. Then research, identify, and summarize a specific corporate crime case or issue.

The summary should include a good description of the facts of the case, the issue before the court, and the legal reasoning and decision or outcome (the courts ruling) of the case, if there is one. Lastly, state whether SOX has created more confidence in the capital markets or not.
