Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was established by George W. Bush during 2002. It was created with the main goal of protecting shareholders, employees and the public from fraudulent accounting practices and errors. Due to the corporate scandals at the start of the 21. century, federal lawmakers decided to enact this law in order to regulate financial reporting and other business practices. The most famous cases that preceeded SOX were the case of Enron Corp - one of the largest companies in the US around 2000, WorldCom - news company and Tyco International - security systems company.
