Almost three years after the first filings for Sarbanes-Oxley, the costs of compliance continue to be intolerable for most organizations. This session will explore the primary areas of audit concern for Sarbanes-Oxley with a specific emphasis on general IT controls.
Presentations by industry experts will review control areas that are leading to significant deficiencies and answer some of your most pressing questions, such as:
What IT controls are most relative to the reliability of disclosures and financial reporting?
If IT controls are consistently listed as a significant deficiency in our audits, how concerned should we be, and what can we do most immediately to make improvements?
Are frameworks like COBIT and ITIL a necessary part of a compliance effort? What are the benefits to be expected from adopting such models?
When looking to reduce compliance costs, which are the key areas to focus on? What improvement areas should give us the greatest payback in the least amount of time?
What IT controls and process areas can be automated? Are there tools available that can help us achieve compliance and drive productivity enhancements?
Learn how you can systematize the compliance effort and also achieve real business gains.
