will discuss ‘How to position PMBOK (Project Management
Body of Knowledge) to take advantage of Sarbanes-Oxley
initiatives’.
Sarbanes-Oxley, the 2002 legislation
designed to “restore investor confidence” in companies
financial results, is often regarded as an issue that “the
financial folks” have to face. Those familiar with the
Sarbanes-Oxley legislation understand the extensive changes
required in most organizations to ensure compliance. Like
any other major change initiative, an organized, methodical
and well-planned approach always improves the odds of
success.
Come join us in this informative two-part session to gain an
overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley act and the critical success
factors for managing a compliance effort; whether an entire
corporate project or an individual process within the
company.
Although most large companies are in
the final stages of their first compliance initiatives,
testing of these internal controls will reveal weaknesses.
Even companies with solid internal controls will be looking
for ways to automate these controls as a way to defray
cost. Plus, the greatest number of companies (those under
$75M market capitalization) are now initiating their
compliance activities. Join us for this informative two
part session that will help you improve your position by
applying PMBOK and knowing the critical success factors for
managing compliance projects.
