Why Should You Attend:

Financial statement reports, disclosures and certification are key parts of any organization's continued growth, performance and success. Without these key elements investors, bankers, and stockholders may have doubts as to the accuracy of your financial statements. With fraud at an all time high, a well-designed certification system will enhance operations by improving your department's overall security, productivity and effectiveness.

SOX requires periodic financial statements published by issuers to include certifications, disclosures and disclosure controls relating to the information presented in the statements. These certifications must state that your statements present fairly your financial condition and results in all material respects. These certifications also require statements to be accurate and presented in a manner so they do not contain incorrect statements or omit material information. These certifications must include all material off-balance sheet liabilities, obligations or transactions. Section 802 imposes penalties on, whoever falsifies a certification either intentionally or unintentionally.
