Bush on July 30, 2002. The act covers many aspects of corporate governance and establishes new legal requirements for public companies, their directors and officers as well as for the accounting and legal profession. Of particular importance, are the act's new financial disclosure and reporting requirements for public companies and their senior executives and officers.
