The pervasive notion that inspectors and regulated individuals have poor relationships is refuted in Pautz’s research.

Patrick Washington of Virginia Tech, examines the 2001 Sarbanes-Oxley Act that was passed in the wake of corporate scandal and its attempts to promote accountability.  Pautz and Washington conclude that despite promises of accountability, Sarbanes-Oxley actually hinders accountability.
