More Sarbanes-Oxley Rules Up for Discussion

LCG, January 2, 2003-The SEC intends to discuss additional rules under the already-passed Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, aimed at limiting the liability of companies not in compliance.

The Sarbanes-Oxley law, which was enacted on July 30, 2002, requires companies to have an independent audit committee and procedures for dealing with complaints over accounting.

The Securities and Exchange Commission will consider additional rules within Sarbanes-Oxley at a January 8 meeting. The Commission will discuss setting up guidelines regarding the listing of companies who fail to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley law. The SEC may decide to prohibit the public listing of such companies.

The SEC is required to have such rules regarding public companies within 270 days of the law's adoption.
