SEC DEADLINE TO COMPLY WITH SARBANES-OXLEY IS NEAR
HOW
TO DEVELOP A DETAILED PLAN OF ACTION TO COMPLY WITH SARBANES-OXLEY
NEW ONE-DAY
INTENSIVE SEMINAR
Location/Date: - Boston: November 3, 2005 -- San Francisco: November 9, 2005
Learn how to prepare a
comprehensive plan of action to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance using a top-down
strategy
Smaller and international organizations must comply by 2006 but their compliance efforts must be underway during 2005
Sarbanes-Oxley makes
senior management, CFOs, and board members directly
accountable for the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting.
Under this law public US
companies and global companies with US
operations are directly impacted. Even
non-public organizations that deal with public financial institutions may also need to
comply. Compliance by the deadline is not optional.
It is a must.
Achieving compliance
involves employees from many functional groups that generate data for financial reporting,
including CIOs, IT and business operations
personnel.
The key to effective compliance is to develop a comprehensive Action Plan that considers all the key modules and a set of action steps required to develop a process for compliance to meet the deadline and to help your company maintain compliance thereafter. This is because Sarbanes-Oxley is not a one time project but has ongoing operational implications
This PRACTICAL “HOW-TO” seminar focuses on how
to prepare a specific plan of action to enable
you to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance using a top-down approach and a COSO-based
internal control framework as suggested by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This unique seminar will
save you development time and will benefit:
· CEOs - Audit Committee and members of the Board
· CFOs, Controllers
· CSO (Chief Security Officer), Security professionals
· Internal and Independent auditors
· CIOs, IT Executives and managers
· Compliance Officers
· Risk Managers, security officers and business continuity professionals
· Legal Counsel
·
Line managers who will be accountable for
internal controls in their own operational areas and need to deploy Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance
