In the wake of the economic crisis and subsequent $700 billion federal bailout, regulators and government officials are calling for more transparency in our financial system. In a recent speech in Washington D.C., Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke specifically highlighted the need to mitigate risk, prevent fraud and increase transparency within derivatives trading – an environment that is fraught with complex and critical spreadsheets and other end-user computing (EUC) applications.

Join Microsoft and Prodiance for this exclusive online event to learn about the key risk and compliance issues for critical spreadsheets and EUCs, and how the latest technology and best practices can help organizations effectively mitigate operational risk while improving oversight and transparency.

The agenda will include:

• An overview of spreadsheet and EUC challenges in today’s business environment
• The impact of spreadsheet errors and fraud on the current economic crisis
• Expectations and regulatory mandates for spreadsheets and EUCs 
• Steps to controlling key spreadsheets and EUCs
• Best practices for leveraging technology to increase transparency and sustain spreadsheet control and compliance
• A live demonstration of Prodiance and Microsoft software capabilities
• Interactive polls and Q&A
