The Compliance Week 2013 conference happens this week in Washington, where more than 500 executives, regulators, auditors, vendors, and other hangers-on in the corporate compliance community will gather to talk shop. Expect various updates from us throughout the week about what’s being said here. Meanwhile, as always—here is my preliminary rundown of what are likely to be the most interesting or informative sessions we have. (And given how strong our agenda is, picking only a handful is not easy.)
COSO Framework, Version 2.0. Audit and control enthusiasts have waited more than two years for COSO to publish a modernized framework for internal control—and now, at long last, the COSO 2.0 framework is here. COSO unveiled the framework online last week, and this will be the first time that COSO will present the framework publicly. Marie Hollein, head of Financial Executives International, will lead that discussion, and executives from Pfizer and Raytheon who helped develop the framework will be there to describe how they plan to put the framework into practice.
