It’s time for small to mid-sized companies to get serious about risk management and compliance. Many companies have thought about these concepts as separate unconnected processes that in many cases have been applied as band-aids after a mishap has occurred. With the Fed tightening its regulatory belt, it’s time for all companies to get serious about these issues. Solid financial and internal controls are necessary to keep the business going and to avoid fraud and losses. We need to connect the dots to come up with a comprehensive and integrated compliance and risk management solution. This live Knowledge Group webcast will help you understand how to apply the COSO Framework to comply with SOX and manage risks.
