The Spring 2005 Audit Committee Roundtable
At the Tampa Spring 2005 Audit Committee
Roundtable, Enhancing Oversight of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
Understanding Challenges, Exploring Value, we will consider the lessons
learned from S-O 404 and explore how audit committees can improve their oversight
of the financial reporting process. In addition attorneys at the roundtable
will address the responsibility of the audit committee to consider internal
control over financial reporting throughout the year, and the possible oversight
implications of recent court actions and highly publicized settlements involving
independent directors. KPMG's Audit Committee Roundtables are designed to provide
a highly interactive panel-led forum for the exchange of views and insights
on topics of interest to members of corporate boards, audit committees, and
senior executives.
KPMG's Tampa office and Holland & Knight look forward to your participation in the Spring 2005 Audit Committee Roundtable. We've received tremendous feedback from prior roundtables and we look forward to your active participation at our next event.
