Center for Audit Quality Survey Finds Majority of Nation's Investors Support Sarbanes Oxley Act

In a telephone survey conducted July 17-23, 2007, the Glover Park Group asked a series of
questions related to investing, the capital markets and Sarbanes-Oxley. A summary of the
findings representing 1,001 investors nationally are included below.

With a sample of this size, one can say with 95% certainty that the results have a sampling
error of +/- 3 percentage points of what they would be if the entire population of investors had
been polled with complete accuracy.

Confidence in capital markets:
• A large majority (84%) of investors express confidence in the US capital markets, with 39%
saying they have quite a bit or a great deal of confidence. (Q6)
• In contrast, 65% of investors have confidence in the capital markets outside of the US, with
only 22% indicating quite a bit or a great deal of confidence in those markets. (Q7)

Review the entire survey at CAQ.
