Section 302 of SOX requires that a company's CEO and CFO be personally responsible for accurately reporting all materials in respect to their company's financial health and stability. Additionally, Section 302 states that the company's CEO and CFO certify that all of the proper "disclosure controls and procedures" are in place within the internal accounting functions of the business to guarantee the accuracy and timeliness in the company's financial reports released to investors and the public. Section 302 goes on to state that any willful signing of these certifications by a CEO or CFO who knows they are not accurate will result in fines up to $5 million dollars and up to 20 years in prison (Cohen & Brodsky, 2004).
