In this webinar, we delve into the dynamic landscape of fraud risk evaluation, focusing on the evolution and impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) over the years. We will explore the origins of SOX, its objectives, and the subsequent amendments that have shaped its role in combating financial fraud. We will begin with a comprehensive overview of fraud, emphasizing its significance in the corporate world. We then trace the history of Sarbanes-Oxley, from its initial provisions to the amendments and updates that have refined its scope. Key components of SOX, such as Section 302 and Section 404, will be dissected to provide a detailed understanding of their implications for corporate governance and internal controls. To illustrate the real-world impact of Sarbanes-Oxley, this webinar includes case studies, examining high-profile fraud cases both before and after the enactment of SOX. We draw insights from these cases to highlight the effectiveness of the legislation in fraud detection and prevention, as well as lessons learned from notable incidents. Challenges and criticisms surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley will also be explored, shedding light on compliance costs, burdens, and criticisms of its efficacy in preventing fraud.
