Sarbanes-Oxley Update – 20 Years Later: Examining Fraud Risks

• Title VIII: Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability
• Title IX: White Collar Crime Penalty Enhancement
• Title XI: Corporate Fraud Accountability

Companies must remain vigilant in their efforts to vet out fraud and ensure their organizations have proper processes in place to protect their information and their shareholders.
