IT Controls for Sarbanes-Oxley:
The Symposium
4-5 December 2008
Dallas, Texas USA

For more information please click here.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is now a permanent fixture in the business lexicon. Even companies that are not required to comply with the regulation are affected by it. As tough as it is to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance initially, it seems it is tougher to maintain it. The Symposium, based upon the second edition of the highly popular IT Governance Institute® (ITGI™) publication IT Control Objectives for Sarbanes-Oxley, is now in its fourth successful year. The presenters are some of the most experienced professionals in the industry working on the Sarbanes-Oxley conundrum of meeting government requirements without destroying the bottom line.

The Symposium is designed for professionals from companies that are working toward compliance as well as companies wanting to gain efficiencies with their current compliance programs. The Symposium offers presentations to identify the best practices companies have learned and common pitfalls companies have experienced while continuing to improve the process into the next round of attestations. It explores ways companies can leverage the work and resources of the compliance project to achieve efficiencies and continue to improve processes. The Symposium provides suggestions for reallocating resources to address other projects put on hold until after achieving Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. In short, The Symposium will help companies attain a new paradigm, as demanded by the rules and regulations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Every participant will receive a copy of IT Control Objectives for Sarbanes-Oxley: The Role of IT in the Design and Implementation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, 2nd Edition, as part of the reference material.

Prerequisites:
The participant should have at least three years of IT experience or equivalent knowledge and be familiar with terminology, approaches, methodologies and techniques appropriate to an IT environment. In addition, the participant should have an understanding of controls and how they fit into an overall control framework for the enterprise.
