News SBTI Consultant Ed Lee to Discuss Sarbanes-Oxley at the Petroleum Accountants Society of Houston DALLAS, February 10, 2004 – Stonebridge Technologies, a leading provider of business technology consulting and systems integration services, is pleased to announce that Ed Lee, Stonebridge's principal consultant for legislative and regulatory impact, will be a featured speaker at the Petroleum Accountants Society of Houston’s Education Day on Wednesday, May 26th at the Marriott Hotel near the Galleria in Uptown Houston. Lee will address the new challenges posed by Sarbanes-Oxley regulations to corporate accountants in his presentation, “Sarbanes-Oxley: The Front Lines in Restoring Investor Confidence.” A licensed attorney and seasoned technologist, Lee leads Stonebridge’s Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Practice. “Sarbanes-Oxley is the largest single reform of the securities industry since the Great Depression,” Lee said. “While the regulation affects every function and operation in today’s corporations, its true intention — and that is, a fair and transparent presentation of financial statement filings, disclosure controls and procedures, and document internal controls — puts the accounting function squarely on the front lines n the battle for true compliance through disciplined corporate governance.” In “Sarbanes-Oxley: The Front Lines in Restoring Investor Confidence,” Lee will provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview of the management and technical requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, including its explicit and implicit impact on the corporate accounting function. Additionally, he will lead a group discussion with PASH members on the expected effects of Sarbanes-Oxley regulations on petroleum accountants specifically. Lee’s presentation is part of PASH’s annual Education Day. For more information on PASH, its education curricula and the May 26th meeting specifically, contact PASH Education Chairman Lary D.
