**Affirmed position.** A Comparative Review of SOX Compliance Frameworks in Cross-Border Financial Auditing presents the following source proposition: The Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) remains one of the most influential regulatory frameworks shaping corporate governance, financial reporting, and audit oversight across global markets. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The common denominator between the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other reform proposals is a top down regulatory approach of direct regulatory intervention with stable and supposedly optimal rules. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
