Monthly Meeting
Thursday, February 18, 2010
And Membership Drive

Presentation: “Emerging technology, audit, compliance and control: An immovable object meets an unstoppable force”
In today’s rapidly changing technology climate, it is essential that the audit, control and compliance community keep pace with what’s going on in the evolving infrastructures they audit and support and on developing trends that are being aggressively pitched to their C-level executives and business units. Sean will cover three emerging areas that are changing the face of information technology: anywhere access, cloud computing and the consumerization of IT and frame discussions around audit and compliance for the three of them. Engage in a collaborative dialogue around some of these initiatives in your organization and your peer’s organizations to become part of the decision making process in your organization and get on the train instead of getting run over by it.
