The majority of the companies must compete with overall and thus adhere to the legal conditions and of standardization mainly nonnegotiable in almost each area or vertical sector which they aim. Thus, the conformity of standardization and the management of a multiplicity of possible risks recently infiltrated the spirits of the majority of the executives and higher directors.
Indeed, no senior officer (President) - with a noise spirit-like apprehending for the diversion and placed in shackles in front of the feeling-famished television cameras. Neither one nor the other is any director eager to face the serious consequences (penalties, lawsuit, erosion of mark, corrupted reputation, etc) of an important recall of products which is carried to the public with the 'knowledge of S because of a certain consumer extremely unhappy 'of a death of S or a serious disease. Some such recent occurrences include the recall of an important commercial vehicle of sport of the tires of way of 's (SUV 's); contamination due to a dangerous chemical escape, causing deaths; and a demonstration of Escherichia coli caused by a soiled food product. Moreover, no company is laid out to make maintain its goods imported with the ports indefinitely, even less of the serious penalties of wages for (knowingly or not) trading with the countries swindlers and put parts on the black list, or to have the dangerous goods or smuggling in its forwardings.
Sour, the regulated environments took place around a long time, as exemplifi by the existence of the Law of discrimination of Anti-Price of the USA 'of S Robinson-Patman of 1936 and of the antitrust act of improvements of Stag-Scott-Rodino of 1976. More recently, in 1991, President Bush of the USA signed in the law the act of consumer protection of telephone of 1991 (TCPA), which modified title II of the act of communications of 1934. Also known as the do not make call program, the congress of the United States issued this law to bring back the trouble and the invasion of the intimacy to the public caused by telemarketing and calls preregistered.
However, a certain number of recent events which have negatively affected consumers and damaged public confidence led to the conscience of and insistence on the responsibility and the responsibility. Probably more the great attention up to now was given to ensure conformity the Law of the USA Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). With knowing, maintaining the scandals proverbial of Enron, Tyco, and MCI/Worldcom few years ago, leso one proved that these companies falsify their statements of the financial account, cost billion dollars and devastated public confidence on the financial markets (see Claudia Delto 'article 2005 of S checking it Two time-Basle II, Loi of Sarbanes-Oxley, international standards of financial informations).
These companies have particularly wounded several million small investors by almost eliminating the investors of the pension plans from retirement. Most of the abuse which produces at this time is simply descended to the lack to remember or from a negligence deliberated for basic ethics and the good sense. The government of the USA reacted in July of 2002 by installing a law which defines in which point the report of corporation must be a law carried out it which was considered instrumental to reconstitute the confidence of the savers by providing transparency in financial informations of corporation. Much more recent (though much less tomb), the revelation of the reaffirmations of financial results and executives ombreux the compensations post-dated at some famous companies (Apple, for example) could be proving to us that one can never not pay attention too much and simply work on a system of honor.
SOX to attack on (almost) each one the 'spirit of S
To put it in the context, the SOX was passed by the congress of the USA in answer to the accounting scandals of high profile implying of the companies like Enron, Tyco, and others. The idea was to make procedures of accountancy of corporation more transparent to the investors and to the regulators.
Even before these scandals ever took place, the raft of the missed incomes that the advertisements which had during some occupied time of the titles in the press of businesses during the Nineties showed one common thread-time and still, of the Finance managers (CFOs) would groan that they had managed not to reach hopes due to has with lack of visibility. These frameworks would frequently blame the great events which they could not have provided as causes poor quarterly execution. One or the other a principal customer countermanded an important order suddenly; the important products became obsolete (and nonmarketable); or the suppliers built prices due to a raw material shortage.
More and more, however, CFOs are invited to give more precise evaluations of their potential of incomes, and if the company does not manage to reach these evaluations, then they should at least be able to give an explanation detailed as for why.
The SOX sets new standards as for the responsibility, with the responsibility, transparency, and the correct behavior with the companies. The act also places conditions for the effectiveness of the internal monitoring of the companies 'of the financial informations (see checking them twice). The Securities and Exchange Commission of the USA (dryness), established by the act of exchange of values of 1934, is responsible for the law and the conformity of corporation to it. The SOX applies to the USA and with the multinational companies which are enumerated on the purses of the USA, such as Nasdaq, whereas the foreign companies which are enumerated on purses of the USA are prone to the SOX during all the financial years which finished after July 15, 2006 (see checking them twice). To be more precise, it applies to all the companies whose values are recorded and that are required to classify reports/ratios below 15 (d) of the act of exchange of values.
The motivation behind the SOX was to reconstitute investors 'confidence in the reliability of the financial data that the companies publish about themselves, and to attenuate the risk of statements of the false financial account. The act also installed an inspection committee for the companies auditantes (see checking it twice). Specifically, each affected company must entirely establish - the committees independent of audit (which are to be said responsible for the inadvertency of the listener); must wait at least a year before engaging a member of leadership team of audit to be a President, CFO, or the equivalent; cannot prolong loans with the directors or the executives of the company; must write annual reports of internal order; must reveal information on the physical changes on a basis in real-time (at the beginning in two Day Businesses, but maintaining in four); and must establish denouncer protection (of advisor) for employees (who are typically subordinates).
Moreover, while the act creates serious criminal penalties (fines or imprisonment up to twenty-five years) for the shareholders of fraud, a publicly traded company 'of managing director of S was made personally responsible for their company of actions of S, particularly for the exactitude of their companies of the statements of the financial account and the effectiveness of their auditer intern. Indeed, CFOs and Presidents of the publicly traded companies nowadays realize much of the SOX and its impact on their companies, since a director even honest but disengaged or of naive can face an career-end and with a ashamed destiny. Moreover, protections of denouncer and the continuations of the directors low too will return subordinates not very likely to remain quiet or the dissimulation of the injustices.
