MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ --
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051101/SFTU041LOGO) WHAT: Protiviti, a leading global provider of internal audit and risk and advisory services, will address issues of importance for newly public companies and companies contemplating entering the public equity or debt markets in an upcoming webinar, "Public Company Readiness."

Meeting Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, increased corporate governance demands and new accounting rules have created a sizable burden on already lean organizations. In this webinar, Protiviti will: -- Identify the key enterprise issues associated with going public -- Share what other organizations are doing to strategically prepare themselves for this transition -- Define the key steps to take in advance of a public offering and when to take them. WHEN: Thursday, September 18, 2008, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PDT/ 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT WHO: The webinar will be led by Steve Hobbs, Protiviti managing director and public company readiness solution leader, joined by Protiviti subject-matter experts and managing directors: Erik Stone, Gordon Tucker and Chris Wright.
