The SOX Institute and ASQ Present a New Workshop on Sarbanes-Oxley

Leveraging Quality Management Initiatives in support of SOX

A 2-day training class jointly produced and delivered by the SOX Institute and the North Jersey ASQ brings the best of both SOX and Quality Management into the classroom with the goals of demonstrating best practices from both disciplines, and showing (through both seminars and case-study-based workshops) how such initiatives can provide the leverage for each other.

This program provides a framework and approach for accomplishing the challenging task of integrating compliance and quality management initiatives. Not only will it help you eliminate conflicts between such initiatives, but it will also enable you to uncover synergies, thereby:

(a) Lowering the cost of compliance,

(b) Achieving ROIs that you never thought possible and

(c) Establishing the continual improvement methodology throughout your organization.

This program will show how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (compliance and quality).

Financial, Risk, Operations, IT & Quality Managers/Professionals and Internal Financial, Quality, IT & Environmental Auditors
