Director education

Director orientation and continuing education programs are important components of board or audit committee effectiveness. These programs can help directors further understand their roles and develop the technical knowledge needed to discharge their responsibilities effectively.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) offers a number of educational programs for boards and audit committees.
