The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was introduced by the US Government to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in enterprise.

The Act seeks to require greater accountability by management and the Board of US companies (and their subsidiaries) in the reporting of financial data.

As a result, many Australian subsidiaries of US-registered reporting entities are faced with the onerous task of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (in addition to their local regulatory obligations).  The Act also applies to Australian and other non-US companies issuing and registering securities in the US.

The demands of SOX are significant and require considerable effort and commitment of resources to implement and monitor on an ongoing basis.
