Italian term or phrase: sulla falsa riga
I'm providing the full sentence below in case of need. Is "sulla falsa riga" something along the lines of "according to"? Thanks!

Nel Dicembre 2005 è stata emessa la Legge sulla Tutela del Risparmio la quale(sulla falsa riga di quanto stabilito in USA dalla normativa Sarbanes-Oxley in materia) introduce un divieto assoluto allo svolgimento di alcuni servizi diversi dalla revisione, a carico delle Società di Revisione e delle entità appartenenti alla sua rete, nonchè alle persone fisiche aventi relazioni qualificate con essa (soci, amministratori, componenti degli organi di controllo e dipendenti della società di revisione e delle società controllate, collegate, controllanti o sottoposte a comune controllo).
