ABSTRACT. In this paper I am particularly interested in exploring the legal treat- ment of the audit committee and its individual members under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the association of internal control problems with audit fees, and the conditions that lead to the (non-)disclosure of existing control weaknesses. These findings highlight the importance of examining the importance of discriminating between the detection and the disclosure processes, the key role of corporate controls in preventing catastrophic investment loss, and the mandatory nature of material weakness reporting under SOX 404. pp. 38–43
