History

Historical Context

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, signed on July 30 2002 after Enron’s 2001 collapse, required U.S. public companies to keep certified board minutes and audit trails. It passed the Senate 99-0 and the House 423-3. Noel Tata’s September 17 request for video and certified minutes from Tata Sons echoes that same push for transparent documentation.
