more sweeping change in corporate governance requirements
than at any time since the Great Depression. The loss
of investor confidence and increased political and media

spawned more dialogue among directors, management, and
other parties about governance issues than most of us
can recall in our lifetimes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 has imposed extensive new requirements on all
publicly traded companies and many others are following
these new regulations closely to determine the impact
it may have on them. In this session, we will discuss
how this new legislation impacts Information Technology
management and their personnel, including efforts to
achieve compliance as well as efforts to monitor compliance
going forward.
