Keadle Moore, LLP (PKM) and Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, (M&J) to sponsor a seminar
entitled, "The Public Company Minefield: Surviving the New Sarbanes-Oxley &
Nasdaq Rules." The full-day seminar will be held on Thursday, January 9, 2003
at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Atlanta.
Geared toward senior level executives and board members of public banking
companies, this timely seminar will address issues such as: new rules and
strict penalties imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; board and audit committee
responsibilities for corporate governance; how relationships with auditors,
lawyers and regulators are changed by the Act; the Act's effect on financial
reporting; and executive compensation issues. The seminar will be chaired by
Walt Moeling and Robert Barker of Powell Goldstein, with featured speakers
Katherine Koops and Ilene Ferenczy, also of Powell Goldstein; Phil Moore and
Tim Keadle of PKM; and Barry Cohen and Donny Luker of M&J.
"Sarbanes-Oxley is part of an overall change in the securities landscape.
During the past five months, we have seen a deluge of new regulations and
interpretations from the Securities and Exchange Commission and major stock
exchanges," said Bob Barker, Powell Goldstein Partner and seminar co-chair.
"The goal of this seminar is to set the practical boundaries for future
corporate governance requirements and to educate attendees on how these new
changes affect them."
Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. with the program continuing until
3:30 p.m. Future planning issues will be discussed at a special luncheon
presentation. For more information on this seminar contact Amanda Clark at
