I don't want to thread-jack this but for those interested in some of the new compliance regulation legislation there are some good overviews here:
Sarbanes-Oxley
This site contains news and articles related to the Sarbanes Oxley act of 2002. This was a legislative attempt to bring about real changes in corporate governance and regulatory compliance through criminalizing reporting and/or internal control failures. Everyone involved in corporate malfeasance the likes of Enron and Worldcomm or even smaller scale incidents is now subject to heavy fines and prison terms. Whether or not anyone will serve a sentence under this is a different story (we need to build more prisons -- a total story for another thread) but it is now criminally punishable across the board.
