SEC May Extend SOX Reprieve For Small Firms

by Glen Shapiro, LawAndTax-News.com, New York

20 September 2005

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected at a meeting on Wednesday to afford small listed businesses in the United States a further year to meet key Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

Firms with market values of up to $75 million had already secured a year's delay in implementing a requirement to file reports on the strength of their internal financial controls.

However, following the recommendations of a panel established to assess the impact of the SOX legislation on smaller public businesses, the securities regulator is expected to delay the introduction of the requirement until July 2007.
