Audit committees
The audit committee’s role is critical to the governance of the organization through its oversight of the financial reporting process. The member's role demands significant time and attention in addressing multiple risks and critical issues. The committee is responsible for ensuring that the financial reporting process is credible, controlled and reliable, and that the company's financial reporting is transparent, consistent and accurate.
Ernst & Young has various resources and publications that provide information on evolving issues and current topics of interest for audit committees including technical and regulatory updates, emerging audit committee interests and concerns and risk oversight. Descriptions and examples of these thought leadership pieces, tools and audit committee materials are available here and through AccountingLink.
