WORCESTER, Mass. - (Business Wire) Lord & Benoit, a global Sarbanes-Oxley research and consulting firm, is hosting a free, one-hour webinar on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 2 p.m. ET entitled, "Rebuilding our Economy: How SOX Helps to Build Trust.” This webinar is open to company CEOs and CFOs, Board members, audit committee members, CPAs, securities attorneys, journalists covering the corporate finance beat, and government officials with a particular interest in corporate compliance issues.

Nationwide over the past few years, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has rebranded itself with the slogan, "Start with Trust(R)." Lord & Benoit believes the BBB is onto something simple and profound. That is, to function properly and grow in a healthy fashion, our economy must be based on trust. Trust is at the core of ethics, and ethical breaches are why the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed by the U.S. Congress in 2002.

During this webinar, topics will include: examples of publicly-held corporations that demonstrate a high level of trust and good ethics--even when times are tough; how SOX has helped these corporations to achieve this trust; examples of key fraud factors that most smaller public companies have been living with since their founding; the high priority of ethical values in the Smaller Public Company COSO framework; examples of Board of Director interfaces; bankruptcies that could have been avoided if SOX had been complied with; audit committee requirements; and the human resource COSO framework emphasis on management’s commitment to integrity, ethical behavior and competence.

The instructors will be Bob Benoit, President and Director of SOX Research at Lord & Benoit and contributing member of the COSO Monitoring Project Task Force; and Michael Mooradian, former Director of IT for Digital Equipment Corporation and Vice President of Operations at Lord & Benoit. Ethics content is also being provided by Drew Crandall, Principal, Marketing/Customer Service at Lord & Benoit, who serves on the executive committee of the Better Business Bureau of Connecticut, is a recipient of a BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, and has been active in the BBB for over 20 years. Lord & Benoit is a full-service internal controls compliance firm that helps clients worldwide with SOX consulting, NAIC, FDIC, Section 404, GAO, and SOX IT. The firm’s research has been referenced by many media outlets, industry experts, and government officials including Michael Oxley, R-Ohio, co-founder of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
