The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has changed how we do business. In an effort to prepare IT professionals and others responsible for internal control and the quality and integrity of information generated by IT systems, a critical requirement of Sarbanes-Oxley, ISACA® is excited to present the third in a series of unique and comprehensive symposia focusing on IT controls. In the previous symposia, topics included the importance of IT in the design, implementation and sustainability of internal controls over financial reporting; the significance of company-level controls, application controls, business cycle controls and system interfaces; and outsourcing and service providers.

With the advent of more and increasingly complex state, federal and international regulations, everyone involved with compliance has to be prepared. The IT professional must have an understanding of compliance methodologies and techniques, specific regulatory requirements, and how all of this impacts technology processing and controls. The IT auditor needs to ensure that compliance processes and controls are in place and working. Management needs to develop and implement solutions that meet the business goals as well as comply with the regulatory environment.

Organizations using COBIT benefit from the development of COBIT competences among their key professionals. COBIT training courses help professionals master COBIT and utilize this knowledge for effective implementation within their organizations. Sustainable COBIT competences helps IT organizations and departments align with the goals and objectives of the business and generate strategic value from IT. COBITCampus offers online learning to help maximize the effectiveness of COBIT in your organization.
