Wall Street to Main Street: Small Business Still Has Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

(NAMC) - The Securities and Exchange Commission will not give small businesses a break when it comes to investor security. They have refused to give a blanket exemption for small companies as it relates to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. They are basically saying that all companies should be treated equally as it provides a level of protection to the investor. Although most small companies find complying with the regulations in regards to Sarbanes-Oxley very costly, they have no choice in the matter. There has been a small trend in companies listing their shares overseas due to the added expense of being listed on a U.S. Exchange.
