Free Webinar on The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley
In a free Xtalks webinar on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Chrisan Herrod, Chief Security Officer at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, will address how you can gain strategic advantage from your SOX and other compliance initiatives.
Initial SOX compliance has been painful. Many organizations have invested significant time and money in their efforts. As companies finish their second year of SOX compliance, they are realizing that they have embarked on a governance journey to gain strategic value from compliance. Companies in the forefront of this journey are leveraging technology to move from passive to active compliance in order to gain greater transparency through more accurate, reliable and timely financial and business information.
The web conference is co-sponsored by Vignette, Certus and Appian.
Registration for the event is currently open and free at: http://www.xtalks.com/sox2.ashx
