For the third year in a row, I’ll be covering the Compliance Week Annual Conference held at the Mayflower Hotel June 3-5, 2009, Washington DC. To see what kind of trouble I can stir up, just look at my coverage last year.
This year promises to be just as stimulating.
If you follow my Twitter stream (…you should, it’s available in an RSS Feed, too!) you know that I was in NYC last weekend. It was fun but also a little of business.
Monday May 4th, I spoke at the Houston IIA Chapter meeting at the request of one of their officers, Catherine Hasley of Deloitte, a Twitter friend.
My presentation: “Lessons From Current Crisis – What’s An Internal Auditor To Do?” The focus is on two case studies, AIG and Société Générale.
I’ve been invited to meet some readers today in the greater Cincinnati area. It seems there are present and former employees of the Big 4 and next tier audit firms in Cincinnati who read this blog frequently. I guess my notariety surprised the heck out of one of my former Jefferson Wells colleagues, Dave Eichert now at Clark Schaefer Consulting. (Actually, not. He knows me so well.) He’s graciously agreed to host a meetup and I’ve added a Tweetup so we can all talk it out.

Last week I was invited to participate in a conference held in Baltimore, MD by the Maryland Association of CPAs…to discuss the role of social media in reviving Maryland’s economy…
For the second year in a row, re: The Auditors took her sharp eyes, pen and stilettos to the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC in early June for the Compliance Week 2008 Conference.
I have been live Twittering the FEI Current Issues in Financial Reporting Conference. It’s been great. Unfortunately, two minutes into Chris Cox speech, Twitter has gone down.

Financial Executives International has just released the results of their survey, “2009 Top Challenges for Financial Executives,” and it’s quite interesting to see what a difference a year makes.
I’m in Toronto for the next few days attending the ISACA Leadership Conference.
