What is the purpose of the Sarbanes-Oxley Regulation?

  1. to protect the environment
  2. to ensure high levels of ethical practice with regards to working conditions
  3. to encourage transparency in financial reporting
  4. to ensure that products that reach the market are fit for purpose

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Sarbanes Oxley Regulations encourages transparency in financial reporting. The regulations came in response to the Enron scandal in 2001 when Enron bosses were falsifying financial records to make the company look better than it was, then the company went bust. The point of Sarbanes Oxley is to ensure that this doesn't happen again- that business leaders report correct financial statements to shareholders. The study guide talks about this on p.42 but I'd recommend also watching this video as it gives a good background to the regulation:
