Whose Job is it Anyway?
|
Coordinating the Oversight Responsibilities
of the Board
and the Audit Committee
|
In
the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley and related corporate
governance reforms, the role of the audit committee and
that of all directors is more demanding and requires a
deeper level of commitment. One of the many challenges
in today’s environment is to avoid overlapping oversight
responsibilities between committees and /or the board,
and to also be sure that nothing “falls through the
cracks.” An understanding of the audit committee’s
increased responsibilities, as well as the evolving
responsibilities of the board, is essential to help
ensure the proper coordination of oversight activities.
This panel will explore the impact of the recent
governance reforms on the audit committee’s
responsibilities, as well as the role of the board in
overseeing the activities of the audit committee.
Special attention will be paid to the types of
communications that should take place between the audit
committee and the board, as well as areas in which the
responsibilities of the audit committee and the board
may overlap - including evaluation of the audit
committee, consideration of director independence,
designation of the audit committee financial expert,
enterprise risk management, and the review of financial
statements and the 10K.
