This study seeks to provide readers with an overview of sections 401, 404 and 802 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they pertain to supply chain managers, while empirically assessing the impact of SOX on some of the most common off-balance sheet supply activities from familiarity, compliance, and time spent perspectives.
