Quote	"According to the University of Rochester’s Ivy Xiying Zhang, Sarbanes-Oxley has cost “public company shareholders $1.4 trillion,” not to mention the billions of dollars spent on compliance. These numbers are once again the “seen.” What we don’t know is what investors lost when private companies stayed private in order to avoid the law’s draconian rules."
