- sh7 please help me Thankyou The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was a necessary response to the corporate accounting scandals of the early 2000s. It brought much-needed reform to the regulatory framework for corporate accounting and reporting and increased the accountability of public companies and their auditors. While there are concerns about the costs of compliance and the impact on competitiveness, there is evidence to suggest that SOX has helped prevent fraudulent reporting and improve the quality of financial reporting. Nonetheless, there may be room for further improvement in the act's implementation to address any remaining issues and to ensure continued investor confidence in the US financial markets.arrow_forwardJ 7arrow_forwardAbabout introduction or overview,tell me which is correct option and with reason why ? tell me which are incorrect option and with reason why ?arrow_forward

Already facing stiff competition from other hotel chains as well as Airbnb, Maryton had run an operating loss in 2020 and 2021 and had responded by engaging in a broad effort to refresh hotel décor and update wi-fi and other infrastructure. That effort concluded in late 2021 and seemed to be showing success in early 2022. However, a variant of the COVID-19 virus reached pandemic status in mid-2022, and business and leisure travel fell off considerably. Occupancy rates at Maryton properties plunged, producing a $10 million pre-tax net operating loss for 2022. Maryton’s CEO has asked that George “work some of his accounting magic” to “put a positive spin on things” and minimize Maryton’s net loss, hoping to calm concerns being voiced by investors and lenders.Required:Assume Maryton has a 25% tax rate.
