Recently, his research focus has been on Sarbanes-Oxley and the unintended consequences of regulations designed to prevent future corporate accounting scandals. In this video, Professor Hunton discusses two of his research studies. Professor James Hunton is the Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Accounting at Bentley College, and Research Professor, Accounting and Information Management, at Universiteit Maastricht, The Netherlands.
