DURHAM, N.C., April 21, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Insurance Accounting & Systems Association's (IASA) Executive Education Program was designed to fill the need of high-level insurance industry executives for peer-to-peer education and networking opportunities with events including the CFO and CIO Roundtables. The CFO and CIO Roundtables provide content targeted specifically for senior financial and technology executives respectively in an exclusive environment that promotes networking with peers and "progress through sharing knowledge."
The 2nd Annual CFO Roundtable will be presented Tuesday, June 7, in collaboration with four prominent sponsors: Guy Carpenter, SAP, Morgan Keegan and Teradata. Admittance to the CFO Roundtable is complimentary to any qualifying Chief Financial Officer registered to attend the 2005 IASA Annual Educational Conference and Business Show in Anaheim, California.
CFO and CIO Roundtable sessions will discuss timely topics affecting insurance companies and individuals in today's competitive marketplace.
Jack Sennott, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Darwin Professional Underwriters, attended the 2004 CFO Roundtable and recently commented, "The CFO Roundtable did a nice job of focusing its content on subjects that are of specific concern to CFOs and not often addressed in other forums."
This year's CFO Roundtable sessions include:
-- Whistle Blowing Allegations and Other Items Impacting
Financial Statements
-- New Ways to Enhance Key Cash Flows in Insurance Companies
-- Monitoring and Maximizing Returns in a Changing Environment
-- The Implications of a New Financial Management Philosophy
