New York, NY, December 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled “Sarbanes-Oxley: How to Assess IT Controls.” This two-hour event is scheduled on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm (ET).

Event Summary:

IT infrastructure is a significant factor in preparing financial reports which makes validation of IT controls a fundamental requirement under Sarbanes-Oxley Law. Research shows that the cost associated with compliance for the IT control validation was high resulting from the companies’ haste in pursuing the validation. This scenario calls for companies to plan, organize, and execute an effective IT control validation system to ensure compliance with the law and to reduce corporate costs at the same time.

The Knowledge Group has assembled a distinguished panel of key experts and thought leaders to help businesses avoid costly errors and potential risks related to IT control validation. In a two-hour live webcast, speakers will discuss significant topics in the mix including:

- IT Requirements Under Sarbanes-Oxley Law
- Rules and Regulations from SEC and PCAOB
- Tools and Techniques to Assess IT Control
- Assessment of the Validation Process and Best Practices
- And Answers to Questions Submitted by You.
