    A few years into SOX compliance efforts and companies are now more focused than ever on driving cost out of the process while still complying with SOX regulation in the most effective and efficient way possible.  Continuously refining SOX practices is the key to staying on top of regulatory and business demands.  It is absolutely necessary to benchmark to gain insight into which areas there are still opportunities to improve and learn innovative strategies that you can take back to your organization.

    This 14th edition of the marcus evans Sustaining SOX Compliance Series will bring together top corporate leaders and government regulators to discuss honestly the future of SOX compliance.  Leave this conference with an understanding on how real companies are reducing compliance work, driving cost down, integrating processes into the business, and handling changing business environments such as mergers/acquisitions.
