New legislation is gaining steam that would change the definition of which companies are subjected to an external audit review of their internal controls (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b)). The bill, called 'H.R.3606 - Reopening American Capital Markets to Emerging Growth Companies Act of 2011,' passed the House by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 54-1. The bill still has to go through the Senate and then get Presidential approval before it becomes law (you can follow the progress here: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3606/show).

Accounting fraud comes in many forms. Some fraud is quite complex and can last for decades, as we recently discovered with the Olympus accounting scandal. When executive management and even board members are in collusion it is very difficult to detect this kind of fraud.
