Statement by the President
Corporate Responsibility Portal Page
I commend the House for acting quickly to pass reforms that improve
corporate responsibility and protect shareholders. The House bill
includes the three core principles of my 10-point plan -- providing
better information to investors, making corporate officers more
accountable, and developing a stronger, more independent audit system.
With 80 million Americans participating as shareholders of companies,
we must ensure high standards, tough disclosure requirements and
accurate information. The House bill is a responsible approach to
addressing these important issues.
