The Sarbanes-Oxley Act introduced the concept of 'clawbacks,' which are designed to accomplish recouping incentives paid to executive officers in the event of any financial restatement based on executive misconduct. Dodd-Frank essentially has required companies to both adopt and disclose the company 'clawback' policies. I think one roadblock with clawbacks, as well as other aspects of the Dodd-Frank regulations, is that it concerns itself too much with penalizing bad corporate behavior rather than rewarding good corporate behavior.
