ACC 599 Week 3 Assignment 1 – Impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act (SOX)
Assume that you are a CEO of a medium-sized company that
needs a significant influx of cash for several expansion projects.
As the CEO, you must determine whether your company should
remain private or go public. Some companies postpone going
public due to the unpredictability of economic and market
conditions. Consider the ramifications of both alternatives.
Construct an argument for and against going public. Before
providing your response, review the guidelines and regulations
associated with going public by visiting Small Business and the
SEC located athttp://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/qasbsec.htm.
Use the Internet to research SOX law, located
athttp://www.sarbanes-oxley-101.com/sarbanes-oxley-
compliance.htm.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Outline three (3) ways in which your medium-sized private
company may benefit from going public, providing a rationale for
each.
