EDGAR® Online to Present at 2012 Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Summit

EDGAR® Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR), a premier provider of fundamental financial data, analytics and disclosure management services, announced today that David A. Frankel, chief marketing officer, will present at the 2012 Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Summit in Boston on Thursday, May 10, 2012. The conference will focus on providing insight and knowledge on a variety of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) topics, including the creation of GRC frameworks, financial risk assessments, regulatory compliance and IT best practices.

“GRC is becoming a critical element of a company’s executive decision making, especially in today’s ever-changing regulatory environment. Companies large and small are now looking for ways to improve their corporate policy making, notably with internal audits, to ensure that enterprise risk is minimized and all compliance needs are effectively met. We are seeing tremendous opportunities for companies to leverage their internal audit data, as well as external industry information, to create a cohesive GRC framework,” said Frankel, chief marketing officer at EDGAR Online.

In the “Creating Collaboration Between Compliance and Internal Audit” presentation, Frankel will examine where internal audit and compliance activities overlap within a company, allowing for the creation of a common methodology to these functions. By integrating these tasks, companies can optimize their overall GRC programs.

In addition to this presentation, Frankel will also lead a small group discussion during the networking luncheon with topic tables on May 10. He will engage with conference attendees on the topic of “Big Data’s Influence on GRC Initiatives and Standards” and then present the highlights of this dialogue on a panel along with other topic table leaders following the luncheon.

The conference will take place at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston, May 8-10, 2012.
