Abstract
A review of the Enron Corporation scandal of 2001 reveals multiple white-collar crimes committed by various parties, including the company and its executives. The United States Congress responded to the Enron scandal by passing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, hereafter referred to as SOX to deter corporate fraud, especially fraudulent financial reporting. This study will test the hypothesis that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act produced a statistically significant reduction in white-collar crime in the United States.
