A flurry of corporate scandals (e.g. Enron, Health South,
WorldCom, Parmalat, etc) led to the passage of the Sarbanes–
Oxley Act (SOX) in 2002. Again. in the wake of the financial
crisis the Dodd-Frank Act was passed to place greater controls
on financial institutions. However, while penalties have been
assessed against institutions, and successful civil suits,
penalties and certainly criminal prosecutions of executives at
financial institutions that failed, those that sponsored asset–
backed securities that defaulted, etc. have been few and far
between. And the number of Ponzi–type schemes as run be
Bernie Madoff and others appears to still be very high, even
with the criminal penalties that have been assessed. Discuss
what steps might be taken to ensure that investors are getting
accurate and complete information to be able to make intelligent
investment decisions.
Please write approximately 350 words to address these
questions. Responses should also be written to generate
additional discussion and include individual opinions supported
by cited material. APA format and references must be cited.
