Description
This research project evaluates the perceived fairness of the new penalties under the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Act signed on July 30, 2002. All companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission are subject to these new penalties. To measure the perceived fairness of the new penalties, surveys will be administered to 100 undergraduate accounting students enrolled in accounting principles classes. The results of this research will help accounting regulators determine if penalties are too harsh under the new Act. If so, accounting regulators may want to choose an alternative remedy to mitigate fraudulent financial reporting.
