MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- On Wednesday 2nd March, KWI invites you to attend a free web-based seminar to discuss global reporting and compliance within the energy industry. The event will bring together some of the biggest names in the energy industry including Microsoft, ScottishPower and UtiliPoint to talk about the issues and concerns facing global CROs and CIOs, and the role of technology in enabling compliance and providing timely, accessible enterprise risk solutions.
Today's regulatory environment is changing the reporting landscape for utilities. Regulation, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, means that utilities must review their present controls and to what extent they need to solve non-compliance by implementing new systems. KWI's webinar will provide participants with the opportunity to learn more about these challenges and the solutions available to energy traders.
The webinar will take place on Wednesday 2 March at 11.00 EST. Speakers include:
-- David Bucknall, Chief Executive Officer, KWI
-- Jon Arnold, Utilities Industry Manager, Microsoft
-- Robert Klein, Group Energy Risk Director, ScottishPower
-- Gary Vasey, PhD, Vice President Trading & Risk Management,
UtiliPoint International
"KWI's webinar represents a fantastic opportunity for participants to listen to some of the energy industry's thought leaders discuss the future technology platforms that will help utilities face up to the huge challenges presented by increased regulation," says David Bucknall, CEO, KWI. "The topic is an important focus for energy traders and KWI is working closely with customers and industry representatives to ensure that we are best placed to support them," he concluded.
