About the Center for Corporate Reporting & Governance
The Center for Corporate Reporting & Governance (CCRG) at California State University, Fullerton was created in the wake of Enron and other high profile corporate scandals and the subsequent passage of the landmark Sarbanes-Oxley Act to address the issues facing businesses and auditors in today’s changing financial environment. The CCRG’s most recent conference, “Fifth Annual SEC Financial Reporting Conference” held September 21, 2007, drew over 350 participants and featured a wide variety of speakers, both local and national, including SEC, FASB, and PCAOB officials, corporate executives, board and audit committee members, and other financial accounting experts.  Currently, the CCRG is planning its First Annual International Financial Reporting Conference to be held in Shanghai, China in November, 2008.
