LEG 505 Week 1 Discussion 2, The Role of the Contracting Officer

 Take a position as to whether or not the role of a contracting officer, with the federal government, can be compared to a principal-agent relationship. Support your position.

Argue whether or not a government contracting officer should be held to the standards articulated by the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub.L. 107-204, 116 Stat. 745, enacted July 30, 2002). Support your position. As a manager, determine the best way to communicate the SOX Act adherence to a government contractor you would work with.
