Answer:

The boss is correct.

Explanation:

Under Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a  rules-based approach to corporate governance and reporting is used. It is based on the view that companies must be

required by law (or by some other form of compulsory regulation) to comply with established  principles of good corporate governance.

Except in the instances of exceptions provided in the act, company has no choice than to comply regardless of the cost implication because non-compliance is punishable under the act. Sometimes, it is called tick box approach

This is contrary to what is obtainable in a principled-based approach where allowance is given for explanation in the event of possible con-compliance.

How has the pattern of trade changed in the United States since 1960?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Imports have grown faster than exports, and the United States has become a net importer.

Explanation:

International trade is not just a major engine of the U.S. economy, but for the global economy. The total trade share in terms of the global Gross Domestic Product was 25% in 1960 and it has raised to 56% in 2017. Though, imports have surpassed the level of exports, making America be a net importer. Main imports are in the form of raw materials for the production of different goods mainly vehicles, and clothing.
