SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) is a U.S. federal law designed to ensure that companies report their financial information accurately, transparently, and with strong internal controls. Its purpose is to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures. SOX was created after major corporate scandals such as Enron in 2001 and WorldCom in 2002.
