Description
As the U.S. financial landscape shifts, the roles and responsibilities of audit committees continue to expand and evolve. If you are a director or member of an audit committee, or advise audit committees, you need to understand what’s expected in the current environment. This program brings together an expert faculty of public company directors who serve on audit committees, lawyers and CPAs who advise audit committees, and government regulators who oversee the audit and financial reporting processes, to review the important issues and best practices you need to know to meet the challenges facing audit committees today. You will come away with the practical information and tools you need to successfully advise your clients and successfully perform in today’s increasingly complex financial reporting environment.
- The most important developments in the past year for audit committees and what the future looks like: hear from the SEC and PCAOB
- Trends in risk oversight and management: changing market conditions, risk intelligence and assessment, effective due diligence, risk management processes, counterparty risk, and liquidity risk management
- Key financial reporting developments: IFRS, fair value accounting and other issues
- How to improve audit committee focus, efficiency and effectiveness
- When a crisis situation does arise, how should the audit committee handle it?
- Understanding the boundaries of audit committee member liabilities and strategies to limit liability
