Liquid Machines and Microsoft to Co-Host Corporate Governance and Sarbanes-Oxley Seminars

Liquid Machines, the leading provider of Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) solutions, today announced its participation in a number of upcoming Corporate Governance & Sarbanes-Oxley Best Practice seminars with Microsoft. Representatives from Microsoft and Liquid Machines will be joined by Nick Akerman, a partner and co-chair of the Computer Fraud & Abuse group at Dorsey and Whitney, to discuss how Enterprise Rights Management solutions can help organizations get and stay compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other corporate governance regulations.

The effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reach beyond safeguarding the financial reporting process to improving corporate governance. The New York Stock Exchange issued corporate governance rules in November 2004 that mandate information controls to ensure confidential information remains confidential, protect intellectual property, and comply with regulations. In addition, the lack of controls can create material events when intellectual property is stolen or regulations are violated.
