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.
