In 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act created a vast number of new rules and regulations applicable to publicly-held companies. Among the sweeping changes spurred by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act were: new corporate governance requirements; requirements for certification of a company's public disclosures by the chief executive and chief financial officers and related requirements for new disclosure procedures and review within public companies; accelerated and enhanced filing requirements for various reports; extensive rules regarding auditor independence and conflicts of interest; and numerous other rules and requirements.

The Maslon Business & Securities Group routinely advises publicly held clients on their heightened responsibilities under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, the Maslon Business and Securities Group stays current on potential changes in the rules of Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange as a result of the new requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
