NEWS RELEASE
AuditSoftware.Net Launches To Help Auditors Meet New Regulatory Requirements
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW JERSEY, March 31, 2003
Recent events in corporate America have led to a loss of investor and consumer confidence and increased political and media attention around the issue of corporate governance. This has resulted in hundreds of new regulations that corporations must become compliant with over the next 12 months. Auditors and senior financial managers are relying on technology now more than ever to meet these requirements efficiently, and without additional staff resources.
The AuditSoftware.Net site aims to provide these professionals with information they need to bolster their knowledge and access to technology solutions. The site contains in-depth information on audit and business software including programs to: improve corporate transparency, reduce costs, minimize operational risk, and increase insight and data mining capabilities.
"There has never been a better time to utilize audit software given today's economic, corporate reporting, and audit climate. Many people own audit software but what is needed is more information to facilitate the application of this software," says Rich Lanza, founder and Webmaster for the new site. "I have used audit software for over 11 years and have found so much value for my companies and clients that I feel compelled to give back to the community with a free resource site."
Site Overview
The site, located at www.auditsoftware.net\community, provides numerous free tools including:
Message Boards Allows users to post questions to the community.
Why Use and How To Use sections Provides tools, case studies, and articles as a comprehensive resource for audit software usage.
Monthly Newsletter Sends periodic Email newsletter to registered users.
Events Schedules events (i.e. conference calls) to foster community involvement.
Benchmarking Polls and surveys to help community members benchmark with their peers.
