Services for audit committees

Regulators, securities analysts, institutional investors, and others are scrutinizing audit committees. As more committees take on increased responsibilities, members are working harder and longer to keep up.

Challenges

• Having enough time to discharge duties effectively and with appropriate thoughtfulness—recognizing that mere compliance is not sufficient
• Finding an appropriate balance between overseeing and advising management, while avoiding micromanaging.

How we can help

We assess the committee’s formation, operations, and relationships; benchmark them against leading practices and requirements; and develop recommendations

• We design training and development programs for both new and experienced members
• We develop and deliver specialized training sessions for committees
• We redesign materials—assess pre-meeting materials and agendas, benchmark against leading practices, identify issues and improvement opportunities, and help redefine materials
