Worldwide Experts on Enterprise Spreadsheet Management Present at the 8th Annual Spreadsheet Risks Conference
London, United Kingdom, June 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group (EuSpRIG), in association with Compassoft, is holding its 2007 conference on the theme of "Enterprise Spreadsheet Management: A Necessary Evil?" on the 11th - 13th July 2007 at Greenwich University, London, United Kingdom. Keynote speakers include Professor Ray Panko of the University of Hawaii, Dean Buckner of the UK Financial Services Authority and Paul Bach, CEO of Compassoft.
This year's topics include "Enterprise Spreadsheet Management - a necessary good", "Impact of errors in Operational Spreadsheets", and "Risk Management for Complex calculations". Speakers and delegates are expected from all over the world. See the eusprig.org web site for more details.
"Many studies have shown that significant sums of money are lost by organisations of all sizes because they fail to check thoroughly that spreadsheets, critical to their business, are free of material error", said Patrick O'Beirne, Eusprig chair. "EuSpRIG was formed in 1999 to address this and related issues. The annual conference is an excellent place for leaders in this field to come together to discuss the issues and agree on best practices" he continued.
"Finance teams and auditors everywhere know that there is a very high likelihood of multiple material errors in key spreadsheets that are used every day in their company. Compassoft is proud to work with EuSpRIG to raise this issue to a top priority among CFOs, Controllers, and Audit firms" said Paul Bach, CEO of Compassoft, the main conference sponsor.
