Media Alert: Proformative to Host Event with Marsh, Orrick, and PricewaterhouseCoopers: Managing Risk in the Coming Recovery

Proformative will host the first in a series of complimentary speaker and panel events for corporate finance, accounting, treasury and related executives to help them prepare their companies to manage risk and liability in the coming economic recovery.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2009 -- Proformative will host the first in a series of complimentary speaker and panel events for corporate finance, accounting, treasury and related executives to help them prepare their companies to manage risk and liability in the coming economic recovery.

The past 18 months have been extremely difficult. Reduced headcount and resources have meant doing more with less, and sometimes not doing anything at all. This event is about preparing these executives and their companies to recover from this period, with focus on legal, accounting and corporate risk areas that may have seen less attention than optimal during these tough times.

“As a long time CFO, I know how difficult it is to keep up with every corporate detail during tough economic times – fewer people and resources means less gets done and it can be tough fighting your way back to a growth stance as a company,” stated John Kogan, CEO of Proformative. “We are very pleased to be able to bring together participants of this quality to share their practical insights and knowledge with the event attendees.”
