An Auditors Perspective on your 2014 Conflict Minerals Filing Obligations

TEMPE, Ariz. - Feb. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Building on the success of our popular Conflict Minerals webinar series, Foresite has the pleasure of introducing Douglas Hileman of Hileman Consulting, LLC.

The companies internal preparations to prepare for filing obligations.
What to expect from your first year 'gap analysis' and/or independent third party audit?
A review of the type of efforts/processes that should be documented by your supply chain management/outreach teams.
