About This Event

Online registration for this event is closed. Walk-in registrations will be accepted.

Most of the controversy surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley has focused on its direct, tangible costs, especially the cost of creating, installing, and auditing internal controls under section 404. But there are many intangible ways in which this legislation could be even more harmful to the U.S. economy. In this conference, participants will consider a paper by Kenneth Lehn and colleagues of the University of Pittsburgh on whether Sarbanes-Oxley is impairing corporate risk-taking.
