SOX compliance is governed by two agencies: the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). The SEC has subpoena power to broadly investigate companies, pursue prosecute, seek civil fines, and work in conjunction with the Department of Justice. The PCAOB focuses on the public auditors of applicable companies. Thus, the PCAOB has rulemaking authority to set standards for the preparation of audit reports, inspect public accounting firms, and impose fines. Moreover, the agency can request accounting representatives to produce documents and testify.
