   Business Ethics       

Read the article Governance in the Spotlight: What the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Means for You.  In this article the author outlines provisions companies are now  required to implement. Consider the requirements imposed by  Sarbanes-Oxley on corporate boards of directors. Do small businesses and  privately held companies have ethical duties? If so, to whom would they  owe this duty? Employees? Customers? Vendors? Should the law impose  ethical requirements on small businesses or privately held companies or  can the marketplace police unethical business behavior? Provide support  to justify your position.
