SOX also contains protections for accountants and other finance employees who face retaliation for providing information about, or participating in investigations relating to, what they reasonably believe to be violations of securities laws on the part of their publicly traded employers.

My very first full-time job after college was working for an area local bank in Corporate Finance. While working there, I met a young man by the name of Derrick Parker who introduced me to Malcolm X by way of books and tapes. I was enamored with Malcolm.

Malcolm read those books over and o...
