Executive Summary of the Employment
Act 2002
- 03/09/02
The Employment Act 2002, which received Royal Assent in July 2002,
is said by the Government to be "a balanced package of support for
working parents, while reducing red tape for employers". That will
remain to be seen as the package of reforms are enacted but, in
any case, most of the reforms will not come into force until 2003.

The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act 2002: How US Corporate Fraud Act affects UK Firms - 21/08/02
Last Month, in an aim to crack down on corporate fraud after the
recent Enron and Worldcom scandals, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (SOA) was signed into law in the United States. The passing
of this bill, however, is set to affect not only the 1,000 largest
reporting firms but also British companies with secondary listings
on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The Act does not exempt
"foreign private issuers," which are often accorded different
treatment under SEC and national securities exchange rules.
