In 2002, The Sarbanes-Oxley Act became the first comprehensive federal legislation to impose significant corporate governance requirements on public companies and to address the responsibilities of corporate executives and board members. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act touches almost every aspect of corporate governance and imposes new standards on boards of directors, officers, auditors, and counsel. Shortly following the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the SEC adopted numerous regulations implementing the law, and each of the major stock exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, and AMEX) adopted new listing standards in an effort to strengthen the corporate governance practices of public companies.  Exemplar helps public companies navigate and comply with these regulations and find cost effective ways to manage risk and avoid costly mistakes.  Invest in growth.  .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
