Question 5arrow_forwardV3 Why is it important that you, a hospitality student or professional, study accounting?arrow_forwardsh7 please help me Thankyou The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was a necessary response to the corporate accounting scandals of the early 2000s. It brought much-needed reform to the regulatory framework for corporate accounting and reporting and increased the accountability of public companies and their auditors. While there are concerns about the costs of compliance and the impact on competitiveness, there is evidence to suggest that SOX has helped prevent fraudulent reporting and improve the quality of financial reporting. Nonetheless, there may be room for further improvement in the act's implementation to address any remaining issues and to ensure continued investor confidence in the US financial markets.arrow_forward
