New subject: Fwd: [compsoc-members] CompSoc- Week 4

5 Feb 2006


      Hi all,
We have the first speaker event of the term on Wednesday:
IT General Computer Controls and Sarbanes Oxley (Deloitte)
Date/Time: Wednesday 5 Feb 20:30
Place: Denis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building (on  
Banbury Rd & Keble Rd)
------------------------------------------------
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is legislation enacted in response to  
the Enron and WorldCom financial scandals to protect shareholders and  
the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in  
the enterprise.  Ryan Loughins from Deloitte will explain the effects  
of SOX on the way we conduct business, as well as how embracing the  
“spirit of the law”―strong ethics, good governance, reliable  
reporting―will reap the benefits of a re-energized company and  
reassured investors.
The thursday workshop is tbc.
Have a great week!
Ken.
