PROGRAM DETAILS
Introduction
The primary objective of this five-day training program is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the best practices for Audit Committees. The role of an Audit Committee is essential in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting and the effectiveness of the internal control system of an organization. In today’s complex business environment, where risks are increasing, and regulations are becoming more stringent, it is crucial for Audit Committees to have a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities.
Through this program, participants will learn about the key responsibilities of an Audit Committee, including overseeing the audit process, reviewing financial statements, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. They will also gain practical skills in assessing internal controls and financial reporting.
Effective governance, risk management, and communication are critical for the success of Audit Committees. Therefore, the program will also cover best practices for these areas.
