  • Hi
    I am currently carrying out research for my final year project. I have chosen the topic of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation causing burdens for public company’s to comply with. my thesis will need to be supported by evidence from individual experience of the legislation.
    I am currently in the phase of carrying out primary research which will include online interview questions. I would appreciate if anyone who has had experience with Sarbanes-Oxley to answer the questions below or to contact me personally at adnan_ali_101_at_live.co.uk.
