Footnote:

* Sarbanes-Oxley refers to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which established a new quasi-public agency, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals including those affecting Enron, Tyco International, Adelphia, Peregrine Systems and WorldCom. The Board is charged with overseeing, regulating, inspecting, and disciplining accounting firms in their roles as auditors of public companies. The Act also covers issues such as auditor independence, corporate governance, internal control assessment, and enhanced financial disclosure. More info at www.govtrack.us .
