Several years after Sarbanes-Oxley was enacted by Congress in response to major corporate, accounting and document destruction scandals, its reach has remade corporate governance in the United States; the impact of SOX has permeated public company governance and is finding its way into the board rooms of private and nonprofit enterprises. Major impacts include a drive for board independence, tightened audit and other committee practices, tightened internal compliance programs, and expensive retooling of accounting functions to meet Section 404 requirements. The cost impact on middle market enterprises has been significant. Has SOX helped make American business more honest? More transparent? What are the lessons of the last three years, and what 'best practices' can we realistically take from our life with SOX?
Seminar highlights:
- Lessons learned for management after three years of SOX
- Best practices in governance, reporting
- Internal controls for the middle market
- Practical tips on staying out of court and the SEC's cross-hairs
Who Should Attend?
