    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: the First Decade July 30, 2012

    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: The First Decade July 30, 2012 PROFESSOR MARK BEASLEY: Good afternoon. Welcome to The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: The First Decade. My name is Mark Beasley. I am the Deloitte Professor of Enterprise Risk Management and Professor of Accounting in the Poole College of Management at North Carolina State University which is based in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is a pleasure to welcome our audience here at the Jack Morton Auditorium on the campus of The George Washington University in Washington D.C. as well as those who are joining us live via the internet through the SEC Historical Society’s virtual museum at www.sechistorical.org. It is a pleasure to welcome you all here today. Ten years ago today, President George Bush signed into law The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 after it was approved by the House with a vote of 423 to 3 and by the Senate with a vote of 99 to 0. At the time in 2002, we were on the heels of the corporate scandals at Enron, WorldCom and others that followed, Adelphia and Tyco and beyond, as well as the dotcom crisis. We were also dealing with the impact of 9/11 as well. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was designed to enhance and strengthen corporate governance, particularly over the financial reporting processes in public companies in the United States. As you know, the act had a number of provisions primarily to enhance corporate governance, to place more responsibilities and authority on the shoulders of boards of directors, particularly audit committees, as well as to strengthen the accountabilities for management of public companies, the auditors of the financial statements, and to try to enhance the strength of internal controls, financial reporting and particularly to increase transparency over the financial reporting and disclosure process.

    Press Release: Maryland Receives Grant to Help Strengthen Underperfo... http://www.governor.maryland.gov/pressreleases/090302b.asp Maryland Receives Grant to Help Strengthen Underperforming Schools National Governor’s Association grant is funded by Gates and Prudential Foundations ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 2, 2009) – Governor Martin O’Malley announced today that Maryland has received a grant from the National Governors Association (NGA) for a one-year project designed to spur improvement in chronically low-performing schools. The grant, one of just four funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Prudential Foundation, will provide the State with up to $150,000, plus assistance in research and development of new strategies to increase academic achievement in underperforming schools. The NGA’s Center for Best Practices will assist Maryland in the development of its plan. “America’s number one public school system must do everything it can to remain the best in the nation while ensuring that every Maryland child receives a quality education regardless of where they live,” said Governor O’Malley. “The National Governor’s Association shares these principles, and we are grateful for this support. Their partnership in this endeavor demonstrates that we all have a stake in the future of our children.” Maryland has gained a well-deserved reputation for its high academic standards and strong accountability measures, and those measures have paid off over time. All 24 school systems across the state have posted steady academic improvement for five straight years, and Education Week Magazine recently cited the state’s public school system as the nation’s best.
