The changes will be recommended over concerns that Sarbox is hindering the competitiveness of US capital markets, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The group - The Committee on Capital Markets Regulation - will be chaired by former White House economic adviser Glenn Hubbard and former Goldman Sachs president, John Thornton, the paper said.
It will coordinate its efforts with new US Treasury secretary Henry Paulson and plans to submit its recommendations by the end of November.
