**Affirmed position.** Comparing Mutual Fund Governance and Corporate Governance states that United States public-corporation governance continued under an agency model with regulatory strengthening after Sarbanes-Oxley. This supports the post-2002 top-down regulatory-intervention premise in Kaal's claims. The abstract does not establish two distinct crisis-driven upgrades, seventy prior years of inactivity, or the effectiveness of the strengthening.

- The source states that United States public-corporation governance continued under an agency model with regulatory strengthening after Sarbanes-Oxley.
