Description:
This paper explains that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an autonomous government body, overlooks the U.S. securities market and the modalities of corporate takeovers and manages the organization of financial laws to provide transparency thus safeguarding investors. Next, the author relates laws regulating the securities market, which are the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 , the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001, the Energy Policy Act - PUHCA and The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, acts related to staffing and budget acts. The paper concludes that regulations, such as mandatory disclosure, do have problems often relating to the consumers' emotional reaction to these assumed safeguards.

"The US Patriot Act of 2001: This Act is the most important regulatory arsenal in the combat against money laundering and terrorism financing. The Act has major effect on the market intermediaries as also participants. The SEC in concert with other federal regulators and the self-regulatory organizations is working to complete execution of the Act. A lot of important projects in the area of making of rules are going on and regulators as well as financial institution are engaged to conform to the broad range of rules adopted since the last two years."Sample of Sources Used:
