Summary
Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) filed a Form 8-K on August 14, 2002, primarily to disclose compliance with newly enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) requirements. Specifically, the filing includes statements under oath from the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as mandated by SEC Order No. 4-460. This action was taken concurrently with the filing of their Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2002, which also contained Section 906 certifications from the CEO and CFO regarding the accuracy of that quarterly report. For investors, this 8-K serves as confirmation that Quanta Services was actively engaged in meeting the new corporate governance and financial reporting standards introduced by SOX shortly after its passage.
