I would recommend a paper discussing why the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX" or "SarBox") needs to be radically reformed or eliminated. There are tons of sources out there on this subject. By way of background, SarBox was enacted as a way to curb the corporate abuses which Congress perceived to be happening in light of the scandals at Enron, Worldcom and a few other public companies. SarBox has cost companies billions of dollars and takes a disproportionate toll on small public companies who cannot afford the extra cost of the regulations. As a result, many of these small public companies have had to "go private" in order to avoid the costs. In doing so, America loses a lot of growth potential in its economy because these companies that have gone private no longer have the access to the cheap capital that they had as a public company.
SarBox would have been more appropriately named The Full Employment for Attorneys and Accountants Act of 2002. Even after four years, the effectiveness of the Act is questionable and I believe that many commentators believe the compliance cost does not justify the dubious benefits supposedly received by the investing public.

How does the owner/manager of a company explain that there will not be wage increases even after he has not given any for almost three years?
The law firm in which I work is small and the only other staffer and I are hard workers and are now doing the work of what was five people and we realize there are no funds to increase wages... at least not in the near future.
We would be more willing to suck it up if we had a persuasive pep talk about how we should stick together and how appreciated we are.
