Risk Analysis and Management:  What Every Financial Manager Must Know<?xml:namespace prefix="o" />

In this turbulent world, risk management responsibility has fallen squarely on financial management’s shoulders.  Audit committees and external auditors are asking questions they never asked before.  We must prepare to give them answers!  Come get insights about Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and what standards such as the COSO ERM model say every organization must do.

Systemic Risk:  Six Mega Trends

In an inter-connected, multi-polar world, potential events in one area may have global impact.  This session discusses six mega-trends and how they create both hazards and opportunities for organizations. 

The Rittenhouse Rankings:  Cut Through Financial Reporting’s FOG

Is that financial report you are reading honest and candid, or are the real facts hidden among carefully chosen “weasel words”?  Learn about how the Rittenhouse model measures the integrity of management’s disclosures about financial results.  Prevent misleading disclosures from fooling you.
