Amerikansk finanssektor er overreguleret

En 2007 undersøgelse af Velichety, Park, Jung, Lee og Tanriverdi modsiger klart de seneste dages vrøvl om et ureguleret finansmarked.

En respondent siger i undersøgelsen; Company perspectives on business value of IT investments in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance:

In fact, I would state that, given the internal control
processes already in place given our status as a regulated
banking company, there has been little, if any, value gained
from the internal control component of SOX without even
giving consideration to the cost of compliance. When one
adds the cost of SOX 404 compliance, I believe this section
of the Act has actually financially harmed our shareholders
with no measurable reduction in the level of risk in their
investment in our Company.

Der har således allerede været massiv kontrol med finanssektoren uden nogen anden effekt en yderlige omkostninger ved at opfylde rapporteringskravene.

Mindre fokus på ligegyldig kontrol og mere fokus på markedskræfterne vil være at foretrække i fremtiden.
