New York, NY, October 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused teleconferences has announced today that Samuel Guzman, Jr., Assistant Chief Auditor with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming teleconference entitled: “AS5: Important Updates.” This 2-hour event is scheduled for October 25, 2007, Thursday, at 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST. (For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/2007.AS5.htm)
Because of the strict and costly compliance brought by the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 to most companies, the PCAOB adopted a new internal control auditing standard or commonly known as AS5, which was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This new Auditing Standard, which replaced the older Auditing Standard No. 2, will implement Sections 103 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of distinguished experts to help make these policies clear to the organizations most impacted. The panel will present their findings, which include best practices in this comprehensive two-hour teleconference.
