Winter 2008 CFO Forum Meeting

Wednesday, February 27, 2008, 7:30-9:30 a.m.
"Enterprise Risk Management: Benchmarking,
Best Practices and Bond Ratings "

Ratings agencies are moving to incorporate an evaluation of even non-financial issuers’ broad risk management practices into their ratings criteria. As a consequence, ERM is increasingly important to the CFO. Join us for a discussion of what level of ERM makes sense, what practices work and how other companies are responding to the call for broader risk management approaches.

Helping us explore these issues are:

*Brad Jewett, Director of Enterprise Risk Management - Microsoft

*Dudley Johnson, Senior Vice President - Kibble and Prentice
