The statement "The Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 was created to protect consumers against false advertising by monopolies." is false.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act placed the obligation of responsibility for a company's financial reporting squarely on the shoulders of its top executives in order to safeguard investors from corporate accounting fraud.

It required chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief financial officers (CFOs) to personally attest to the correctness of the information in financial reports and to affirm that controls and procedures were in place to evaluate and verify that accuracy.

In reality, CEOs and CFOs had to personally certify that financial reports complied with Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) rules by signing them. Failure to comply with this might result in fines of up to $15 million and 20-year prison terms.

Hence, the given statement is false.
