Sarbanes-Oxley and Terrorism
Issues
Full
Text of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
In keeping with our continuing emphasis on
this topic, this link will take you to the actual
on-line text of the statute. For those who either
are not in an office with a library and/or do
not have the federal statutes in that library,
or if you are traveling with only your laptop
or blackberry with which to do some quick research
on this law, this is the link you need.
Department
of the Treasury Blocked Persons List
This link takes you to the ALTA's primary
page dealing with the US Treasury Department
restrictions and provisions dealing with the
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The
US Government has prohibited, among others,
attorneys from representing certain foreign
persons (individuals and entities). This editor
believes it may well become a "best practice"
in the near future for attorneys to check this
list before accepting almost any engagement.
Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons
This is the link to OFAC's list of prohibited
persons. Please note that it is a large .pdf
file (81 pages on 3/10/03).
Executive
Order 13224
This link is on the website for Stewart Title
Company. It allows anyone to search OFAC's database
of prohibited persons. The connecting reference
on Stewart Title's Web Page is to Executive
Order 13224 issued by President Bush on September
23, 2001 (the text of which is provided on this
link), with an additional link to the OFAC database
and the related search function.
