The PresenterNet Advantage

Supporting Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance

PresenterNet web conferencing offers unique tools that support compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in managing financial data presented online. For example, a company presenting a Web Conference to security analysts may offer accounting data affecting future earnings. After the actual earnings announcement, management may need to prove to regulators and stockholders that previous statements were accurate.

Without the PresenterNet application, treatment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliant data is a significant challenge for presenters, whether presenting in-person or with traditional online desktop-to-desktop services. In typical face-to-face or desktop-to-desktop presentations, it can be virtually impossible after a conference to determine what the presented media said, or whether the presentation complied with all applicable rules and regulations.

PresenterNet's solution to support Sarbanes-Oxley compliance provides facilities to upload and reliably archive all media used in every Web conference. Because PresenterNet web conferencing permanently converts media to a format that cannot be altered by users, online archives offer documented proof of precisely what was presented in every session.

To ensure the necessary proof to support requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley for Web conferencing of financial information, PresenterNet assigns all presentation content to a specific user's library, with a permanent number attached to each slide or document. The application then provides time and date stamping of each uploaded slide or document; logging of every individual use of every slide or document; logging by name, date and time of every host or guest to join any online conferencing session; and logging of every slide or document transmitted during every online conference.

The resulting archive then provides a report that includes retrievable copies of all of the actual media presented, with a permanent record of participants, and the time and date of each presented slide.
