Free Webinar on The Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley
Chrisan Herrod, Chief Security Officer, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, will discuss how to gain strategic advantage from SOX and other compliance initiatives.
(PRWEB) November 25, 2005 -- 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.
Join us for an informative discussion on how companies can leverage compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2004 to gain strategic advantage.
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.
