2012 - Live webinar on What does Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank and Hedging FOREX (derivatives) in a recessionary economy have in common, they’re all risk and compliance related by Compliance2go

The topic aims to address and compare the requirements of SOX against the Dodd-Frank legislation and contrast how they differ clearly in purpose and objectives. The perception is that they are similar and overlap whereas on the contrary they are distinct, unique and targets areas, risk management and internal controls that corporate management has for far too long not adequately addressed considering their fidicuary responsibilities. Boards frequently target EPS or bottom-line and short-term objectives as being a priority for shareholders and owners of such entities. The latter, unfortunately, trust management and are neither informed nor educated on risk management issues. Foreign Exchange management (derivates/hedging) are also misunderstood and receive negative/uninformed press coverage quite frequently and yet FX management has a critical role to play that impacts all areas of an organisation and interestingly embrace both SOX and Dodd-Frank.
