Accounting Advice." Brad, a newly hired Certified Public Accountant, who barely passed his boards, was asked by a business client, a chief executive officer, about the effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on an accounting issue. Brad assured the client that the client should not be concerned about the Act because it is very vague, unspecific, and difficult to understand. Brad told the CEO that in any event, the CEO could not be held personally responsible regardless of what happened because only company business was involved. Brad also told the CEO that there is no oversight involved with the act. Later that same day, a coworker of Brad discovered that the CEO had been involved in misstating some financial reports and had also destroyed financial documents to cover up fraud. An employee at the company, Laura, had informed the coworker as well as the SEC. When the issue was mentioned to the CEO, he immediately fired Laura.
