Understanding Accounting Academic Research: Before and After Sarbanes-Oxley

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

The Enron and WorldCom scandals, amongst others, prompted several regulatory overhauls including those provided for under the law widely known as Sarbanes-Oxley. This was the most dynamic period in terms of regulatory reforms to accounting and financial reporting save possibly the 1930's. In this monograph, we summarize and synthesize a decade of academic research to place these changes into context in terms of necessity and relative success.
