“Sarbanes-Oxley - A View from Two

Perspectives:  Finance & HR”

 

·        Do you know the real implications of Sarbanes-Oxley for your organization?

·        Do you know the penalties if your organization does not comply?

·        Are you developing the right infrastructure to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley? 

·        Are you aware of the personal responsibilities regarding records management for CEO’s and CFO’s of public companies?  

·        How can you transform your records management program into a compliance program? 

 

This topic is among the top ranked issues of concern by finance and human resource professionals at both public and private companies.  Corporate Governance and accountability are on the forefront of every CEO’s mind following the high-profile scandals and corporate flame-outs of the past few years.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, probably the most significant reform of the U.S. securities law since the passage of the Securities Exchange Act in 1934, was enacted to restore confidence in the public markets.
