SOX & MAR The re/insurance industry faces unique challenges and requirements when it comes to remaining compliant with regulatory audit controls. SOX presents challenges to the insurance industry that are evolving and being refined. A new emphasis on cost reduction has arrived, and leveraging SOX compliance into a risk management framework still remains a mystery to many. More pressing for many companies, the Model Audit Rule is quickly coming to complete fruition, and compliance will be in full effect in 2010. The MAR presents unique challenges that must be discussed from all angles, both for non-SOX companies and those that are looking to evolve their SOX strategies into full MAR implementation. This conference will bring together SOX/MAR professionals from re/insurance to discuss these pressing issues.
