Can SOX apply to Hong Kong? 2026
-
Hello.
I am a student from Hong Kong. Currently I am doing my research paper about SOX and the corporate governance in Hong Kong.
Do you guys think that SOX can apply to Hong Kong?
Or the implication of it to HK’s corporate governance reform?
I think it’s not suggested to Hong Kong to apply SOX.
Can you give me other point of view of this issue?
Thank You

The only reason why SOX would apply in HOng Kong would be if the company was registered with the SEC.
Sarbanes Oxley compliance is only for SEC registered companies.
