The New Corporation - Aristotle, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the Future Manager - Sean D. Jasso

On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002. At the heart of the Act is the mandate for corporate reform from the massive financial and leadership fraud of the late 1990s and early 2000s. This book attempts to look deep into the soul of the Act not only evaluating the efficacy of the policy, but also to verify the heralding for a new dedication to the ethical and moral boardroom in the public cor­poration. The project consults legislative, legal, historical, and philo­sophical primary and secondary research to confirm the big question, 'Does Good Behavior Pay Off?'. The overarching goal is to ascertain to what extent does the Aristotelian credo of arete, or human excellence, serve the Future Manager and find its formula in The New Corporation.
