Pension Risk Matters

I have the great pleasure of being one of two keynote speakers as part of Audit World 2009. My speech, entitled "Navigating the Auditor Hot Zone: Helping Investors Through Volatile Financial Markets," will include case studies from the trenches with respect to prudent process, hard-to-value investing, modeling and much more.

Always important, auditors are increasingly finding themselve in a position of providing pro-active guidance to their clients about complex rules and markets alike. It's no surprise then that institutional investors tell us that what, when and how auditors opine is of critical importance. Lack of uniformity in what auditors advise is a stated concern. On the flip side, auditors worry that pensions, endowments and foundations are asking too much of them, forcing an uncomfortable situation that blurs oversight with execution of essential duties.

Please join me for what should be an exciting and topical event. Sponsors of Audit World 2009, the MIS Training Institute, have put together a "case study-driven, information-rich program in four defined tracks: Financial Services, Non-Financial Services, Manufacturing and Best Practices."
