AMA’s One-Day Sarbanes-Oxley Workshop Seminar # 1801

Keep Sarbanes-Oxley compliance spending down, meet internal controls assessment deadlines and report material changes at lightning speed.

Here’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in what Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requires—and make sure that your processes meet the requirements.
