Protiviti Office Visit in Chicago Friday, March 21st, 2008

Companies worldwide view their risks much differently than they did just a few years ago, as today's regulatory environment and closely monitored markets mandate strong corporate governance. Management and boards of directors are wary of issues that can steer their businesses in the wrong direction, lead to financial restatements, or expose their companies to too much risk. More than ever before, these organizations are mindful of the need to identify, assess, manage and monitor their risks. Increasingly they are turning to Protiviti for the expertise they need to assist them in achieving greater success through effective risk management.

Since our inception in May 2002, Protiviti has become recognized worldwide as a leading expert in internal audit and risk management, as well as a thought leader in areas that include the complexities and challenges of complying with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The company launched in 2002 when Robert Half International reached an employment agreement with Arthur Andersen LLP to hire approximately 760 professionals from the firm's U.S. internal audit and business risk consulting practices. These practices operated separately from Andersen's external audit and attestation services.
