Implementing Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance: Methods and Tools 22 February
2005 Unicom Seminars Ltd.
Most observers would agree that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) is the single
most important piece of legislation affecting corporate governance, financial
disclosure and the practice of public accounting since the US securities
laws of the early 1930s.
With its mass exposure in the financial press, it appears that there
is still a great deal of confusion as to how to be compliant and the measures
that need to be taken to meet the deadline.
UNICOM, a specialist provider of business-to-business seminars, held
a timely event in London on February 22nd 2005 to address the implementation
process for SOX compliance. Attended by key business leaders, it attempted
to address objectively the obstacles to implementation.
Particular commendation should go to Peter Bonisch, MD of consulting
firm, PROSource who delivered a controversial and eye opening presentation
that addressed such areas as; emerging issues related to changes in attitudes
to internal controls and how to manage the volume of documentation involved
in Sarbanes Oxley.
Peter has been advising companies on enterprise risk management and corporate
governance for the past 20 years. He will be presenting a controversial
piece on SOX in a future issue of FDE magazine.
Unicom Seminars produce seminars and events year round dealing with emerging
issues for the CFO.
