The Sarbanes‐Oxley Act (SOX) has brought many changes. But buried within SOX is a small, threeparagraph section that could change the face of auditing. The authors discuss mandatory rotation of auditors: the pros and cons, how it might work, and the changes it might bring. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
