In the wake of the accounting
and finance scandals of the early 2000s, the regulatory environment for
businesses changed dramatically to create more accountability and transparency.
Agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) play a greater role in enforcing and
auditing companies for compliance to regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002.
Select an accounting regulatory or standards agency
(e.g. PCAOB, IASB, etc.)
Select a public company that you either currently
work for, have worked for in the past, or one with which you are familiar.
Create a 1,050-word analysis of the regulatory
environment:
·
Identify one or more
regulations that would apply to your selected company.
·
Discuss the ways that
compliance with the regulations is beneficial to the company, industry, and
consumers.
·
Examine how the agency you
selected and your selected company work together.
·
Explain the role of ethics in
the regulatory environment.
·
Discuss the ways in which the
regulatory environment would directly affect your role in the company in either
your current role or your desired career with the organization.
