Event Synopsis:
 
IT infrastructure is a significant factor in preparing financial reports which makes validation of IT controls a fundamental requirement under Sarbanes-Oxley Law. Research shows that the cost associated with compliance for the IT control validation was high resulting from the companies’ haste in pursuing the validation. This scenario calls for companies to plan, organize, and execute an effective IT control validation system to ensure compliance with the law and to reduce corporate costs at the same time.
 
The Knowledge Group has assembled a distinguished panel of key experts and thought leaders to help businesses avoid costly errors and potential risks related to IT control validation.
