(PRWEB) August 10, 2005 -- Goldstein Lewin & Co., Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, is pleased to announce that it has recently hired Eyal Ardity, CPA, as Senior Audit Manager. Mr. Ardity has nearly 10 years of experience in providing external audits, business advisory and consulting services to large and mid-sized companies.

As a Senior Manager at Goldstein Lewin, Mr. Ardity provides a broad range of audit services to public and private companies. Prior to joining the firm, he was a Senior Manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers where he was responsible for all aspects of audit including Section 404 internal controls engagements and SEC reporting for public companies. He also assisted companies in initial public offerings and private placements.

The influence of Sarbanes-Oxley extends well beyond financial regulation; it also encompasses a wide range of legal, moral and ethical issues that have a direct bearing on corporate governance," states Mr. Ardity. Sarbanes-Oxley affects every sector of the business community -- public, private, and non-profit entities, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and even consumers. Having provided Section 404 services for large and mid-sized public companies, I understand the difficulties involved in identifying and correcting weaknesses in internal controls as well as in integrating these controls with other governance issues."
